Diet Rock

Now many people might know me as Charlie Chaplin
But a pure good advice I and I bring
I and I sit down pon di riddim like a lizard pon a limb, Lord

Natty dread, a this yah one call di diet rock
Say, this yah one call di diet rock
If you're too fat, Lord, you haffi go pon diet
You're too riddickidick, you haffi go pon diet (Gwan)
Drink your juice, mi say, that a coconut
Give me mi beetroot, give me mi carrot

Mi auntie and mi uncle is a pure a peacock
But mi mumma and mi papa, dem a talking parrot
Mi say, fi mi surname, Lord, that a Chatterbox
Say, when mi come a dance, man, him must haffi black
Too fat, Lord, you haffi go pon diet

But mi say, call me Charlie, but no call me Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin
Call mi Chaplin, mi haffi feel too slim
Mi sit down pon di riddim like a lizard pon limb
Outta Marjory, Lord, mi say, dem sell wedding ring
But outta B&G anuh find mi kin
Mi like girl fat, mi say, mi like dem slim
But you got to be careful in this world you live in
Beca' we don't know what a next is coming

You're too fat, Lord, we haffi go pon diet
You're too riddickidick, we haffi go pon diet (Lord)
Give me mi juice, mi say, that a coconut
Give me mi beetroot, give me mi carrot (Gwan)

Give me more juice, mi say, that a soursop (Gwan)
Look how you slim, and papa Chaplin no fat
Say, I man no like no half idiot
Cah, mi auntie and mi uncle is a pure a peacock
But mi mumma and mi papa, dem a talking parrot
Mi say, fi mi surname, Lord, that a Chatterbox
A when it come to hype, man, mi know how fi chat (Gwan)
Say, government, mi say, no charge mi no tax (Gwan)
Cah, dem yah lyrics, man, dem harder than rock

We're too fat, we haffi go pon diet
We're too fat, we haffi go pon diet

Mi flash it inna East and mi flash it inna West
Selassie I know, principle, you a di best
When a bad boy sight you, man, dem push out dem chest
Dem dress up inna jacket, and dem dress up inna vest, Lord
Say, some of dem just suppose dem a di best
But a when mi go a dance nowadays, mi a guess

Mi too fat, Lord, mi haffi go pon diet
We're too riddickidick, we haffi go pon diet (Gwan)
Give me mi juice, mi say, that a coconut
Give me mi beetroot, give me mi carrot (Lord)

Papa Chap inna him diamond socks (Gwan)
Pon mi head it a mi big beaver hat (Gwan)
You look a sight fi mi lice inna mi box
Say, one day mi know mi woulda go pon di top

Mi too fat, Lord, I can't go pon diet
A too riddickidick, mi haffi go pon diet
Mi deejay fi baldhead and dreadlock
It no matter if a soursop or coconut
Just to put it inna mi mouth, it haffi go pon diet
