[Intro]

There is a message in what I've got to say to you...

[Verse 1]

Old King Cole was a merry old soul

A merry old soul was he

But Old King Cole lost all his gold

And now he's crying, you see

[Hook 1]

Don't put your trust in vanity for it will let you down

Don't put your trust in vanity for you'll be underground

Like, Humpty Dumpty sat upon the wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

All of his friends, and the money they spent

Couldn't get Humpty together again

[Hook 2]

Don't put your trust in vanity

For only Jah can help you and set you free

[Verse 2]

Little Miss Mary, you're quite contrary

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells, and cockle shells

And all too and fro

[Chorus]

Vanity

A vanity

Spoiling humanity

Vanity

[Verse 3]

It is easier for a camel...

To go into the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter in the kingdom of Zion

[Chorus]

Vanity

A pure vanity

Spoiling

Spoiling...humanity

[Verse 3]

It is easier for a camel...

To go into the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter in the kingdom of zion

[Verse 4]

Jack and Jill went up that hill

To rob the dreadlocks of his skill

Dreadly went down and broke their crown

And now they are under the ground

[Hook 1]

Don't put your trust in vanity for it will let you down

[Musical Interlude]

[Chorus]

A pure vanity

Spoiling

Spoiling...humanity

[Verse 3]

It is easier for a camel...

To go into the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter in the kingdom of Zion

[Verse 4]

Jack and Jill went up that hill

To rob the dreadlocks of his skill

Dreadly went down and broke their crown

And now they are under the ground

[Hook 1]

Don't put your trust in vanity for it will let you down

Don't put your trust in vanity for you'll be underground

[Outro]

Vanity

A vanity

Spoiling humanity

A vanity

Pure red eye in this time

A vanity
