This Yankee man like to bet
And he like to fight when him lose
He proudly come out each night to bet
Especially when him booze
The other night he was telling me
That he was down in New York City
Where he invented the jerk and if he's feeling out of bed
I could take him to Jamaica and me yet
I bet him ten dollars to two
I can jerk more than you
Twenty dollars to three
So you can't jerk more than me
I care to do the twist
Not the mashed potato at all
But when it comes to the jerk
I have been jerking from since I'm small
ย
This dance that him call the jerking
Is a dance that will drive you wild
Many Yankees just find it out
So they're jerking and making styles
But wouldn't they be surprised to know
I know the jerk well for Calypso?
So I gave him a demonstration
I have the jerk in the palm of me hands
I bet him ten dollars to two
I can jerk more than you
Twenty dollars to three
'Cause you can't jerk more than me
I care to do the twist
Not the mashed potato at all
But when it comes to the jerk
I've been jerking from since I'm small
ย
I don't know your boogaloo, mashed potato and camel walk
I said the twist and the monkey
All a few more dances out of New York
But not the jerk, my Yankee pal
You can't win with that at all
For Trinidad and Colombia
The people of the land in a jerking competition
Believe me
Ten dollars to two
I can jerk more than you
Twenty dollars to three
So you can't jerk more than me
I care to do the twist
Not the mashed potato at all
But when it comes to the jerk
I've been jerking from since I'm small
ย
Ten dollars to two
I can jerk more than you
Twenty dollars to three
You can't jerk more than me
I care to do the twist
Not the mashed potato at all
But when it comes to the jerk
I have been jerking from since I'm small
