Try a Screw to Get Through

歌詞

The government should really deal more leniently With the unemplyed of this country The government should really deal more leniently With the unemplyed of this country Work's nowhere I mean you have a rent to pay The money in circulation is decreasing everyday After all there is no work to do We boun' to try a screw to get through You may look for work it's natural of course But if your money finish you have no resource Richard Dix said Man must live it's widely known How must we live on our bed of stone You'll have to play wappy, dice or rummy Or take some han' in negromancy Open your brain if you can' make money Or join the game of burg-u-lary They'd only need a little of salvation To notice a change in this lere lan' Mango crop we can hardly see Breadfruit gone out entirely Cossada we just eat now and again Well everything is now thrown up on poor sugar cane After all there is no work to do We boun' to try a screw to get through An ol' man told me one day quite plain When are we going to the city on the midday train When he was a boy in eighteen ninety four He was a king to we boys who were naked and poor I know a boy who play Hawaiian music in his nose One have a bottle as a bass, heaven knows After all there is no work to do We boun' to try a screw to get through Collegiates are working in Toco Bay Wearing their suits, can't get work today With all their education some bite their nails Play whe-whe break shop or live in jail It's rather hard in this land of Trinidad The living conditions is enough to drive us mad After all there is no work to do We boun' to try a screw to get through
