I’m Getting Divorced - Intellectual

[Intro: Yellowman & Fathead ]

"Then Yellowman, why you divorce Susan, eh?"

Bwoy, Fathead I can't take it no longer

I just can't take it no longer, seen?

Bwoy, she a ruin mi life, bwoy...

[Chorus: Yellowman & Fathead ]

I'm getting divorced in the evening

*Boof! Baff!* Susan get a lot of beating

"Why?!"

Me give her plenty money to look after mi yellow baby

So, take me to the family court on time

But listen, man

[Verse 1: Yellowman]

Me dress up inna jacket, me dress up inna tie

As me reach the court, the girl a tell lie

The judge say, "I know you never loved that guy"

Then tell me, your honour, why she married I and I?

Put her in the kitchen to fry some chicken

Put her in the kitchen to boil some rice

When me see what she do me bawl, Jesus Christ!

She burned up the chicken and go curry the rice!

[Chorus: Yellowman]

I'm getting divorced in the evening

*Boof! Baff!* Susan get a lot of beating

Me give her plenty money to look after the yellow baby

So, take me to the family court on time

But listen, man

[Verse 2: Yellowman & Fathead ]

Mi one Susan, she have plenty man

She have 3 of them weh live a Portland

Say, one a, Norman, one a them a, Byron

And one a them a soldier inna Up-Park camp

Me pack up mi thing and go through the door

Me wave my hand and say, "Goodbye, Susan!"

Say, as me reach the gate, you hear she sing one song:

"Come back darling!

Give me another try!

Woii yoii!

And me will satisfy!"

You know?...

[Chorus: Yellowman & Fathead ]

I'm getting divorced in the evening

*Boof! Baff!* Susan get a lot of beating

"Tell me why!"

Me give her plenty money to buy feeding and some nappies

As night come, she gone lef' the yellow baby

But listen, man

[Verse 3: Yellowman & Fathead ]

Me love Susan 'til me go a obeah man

The obeah man say, "I beg you stretch out your hand"

Me stretch out mi hand and then he read my palm

Him open the Bible, him read one Psalms

Him say, "Yellowman, I gwan tell you weh deh gwan

Fathead and fi your woman, them just gone!"

Me no want! Me no want! Wha' Fathead nyam and lef'!

Why?!

Fathead walk a mile and a half inna your gungo walk

Lord

Fathead walk a mile and a half inna your gungo walk

Know why?

[Chorus: Yellowman & Fathead ]

I'm getting divorced in the evening

*Boof! Baff!* Susan get a lot of beating

Me give her plenty money to look after mi yellow baby

So, take me to the family court on time

But listen, man
