Bum-bum-bum
A Chiney man from Montego Bay
Came down to Kingston to make a stay
He had a craze over the town girls
So, he found one with plenty curls
John say, "Gal, I love you to death
Free food and money you're bound to get"
But I want you to understand
Never sky lark 'round no legaman
Oh, man-ee-oh, oh, man-ee-oh
Di legaman a catch him candy
Oh, man-ee-oh, oh, man-ee-oh
Di legaman a catch him candy
Di next day John went down King Street
To buy furniture for Lillah's suite
He bought a first-class stereophone
A double bed to furnish di home
John bought lots of furniture too
Including one big thing that's new
But someone made John to understand
Lillah was playing with a legaman
Oh, man-ee-oh, oh, man-ee-oh
Di legaman a catch him candy
Oh, man-ee-oh, oh, man-ee-oh
Di legaman a catch him candy
One night John went for a walk
But when he came back he had to park
When John put his ears to the door
He heard a bass voice drawing snore
John say, "Mop out, chilli cay boom
Di legaman a catch him, chilli cay loon"
And when John start to curse and swear
Di legaman jump up and him find two gear
Oh, man-ee-oh, oh, man-ee-oh
Di legaman a catch him candy
Oh, man-ee-oh, oh, man-ee-oh
Di legaman a catch him candy
When John start to go through the door
Lillah was lying down on the floor
When John told Lillah goodbye
Lillah broke down and start to cry
John say, "You got legaman pon mi bed
Di way him stretch out, mi think him dead"
Although mi come from Hong Kong
Lord, mi a gin a like any man
Oh, man-ee-oh, oh, man-ee-oh
Di legaman a catch him candy
