A Bajan and a Trinidadian dying with starvation
The Bajan say, "Look, Trini, let we make a cook
I put the rice, you going put the meat
Then we going both have something to eat"
But when the pot was nearly to done
The Bajan decide to pull a fast one
He said, "Trini, I'm a born Barbadian
I don't like to fight
But when come to the occasion, man, I stick for my right
You put in a 12-cents meat bone, you worse than a lice
I going give you a word of advice
Take yuh meat out my rice"
ย
Trini got in a big rage, "What wrong with you, Baje
I going tell you flat, Baje, I ain't taking that"
When we were shopping, we both agree
The food will be cook and shared equally
I put me last penny in this meat, and I ain't moving until I eat"
Baje say, "Trini, I'm a born Barbadian, I don't like to fight
But when come to the occasion, man, I'd die for my right
You put in a ten-cents meat bone, you think that is nice?
Well, don't make me have to tell you twice
Take yuh meat out my rice"
ย
The Bajan then said to Trini
"Man, don't tell lies on me
I never told you that we join and cook up in two
What I mention, I can repeat
I said to lend me a piece of meat"
Trini so vex, he begin to cry
"Baje, in front my eye you telling a lie?"
Baje say, "Trini, I'm a born Barbadian, I don't like to fight
But when come to the occasion, man, I die for my right
You put in a nine-cents meat bone, good lord, you want half a slice?
If you don't want a Bajan ice, take yuh meat off my rice"
ย
By this time the pot finish, Trini pick up a dish
The Bajan say, "No, no, no, never happen so
If you wanted something to eat
Man, take a fork and pick out your meat
But if you add one grain of rice
By Christ, I squeeze your throat like a vise"
"Trini, I'm a born Barbadian, I don't like to fight
But when come to the occasion, man, I'd die for my right
You put in a eight-cents meat bone, you Trinidadian lice
Before I squeeze you like a vise, take yuh meat out my rice"
