Mi lion you fi build a little housing scheme
Who some a in a red some blue and green
Some sekkle inna purple, yellow, black and also green

Tell you fi build a little roof over yu head
Tell you fi build a little roof over yu head

Tell me I can't get a brick, you use bag a stone
And likkle after that you have a house of your own
The landlord can't come kick off your door
