Well a country girl come to town. looking young and strong
And all the boys in the area clapped their eyes on her
Taxi Drivers especially they won't leave the young lady
Dick, Tom and Harry and his brother everybody
Want to drive her in their taxi
She say me Mama tell me don't drive with strangers in their motor car
And although you look like a decent stranger you might go too far
Well when I get the news I went mad
I say well this girl can't be so hard
After all I am the King Sparrow and ain't no puppet show
So I started trying me luck just to see if this wouldn't work
All I try I cannot get a lead
The girl is as hard as a gru gru seed
She say me Mama tell me don't drive with strangers in their motor car
And although you look like a decent stranger you might go too far
Well I vex now till I blue
I studying all kind of thing to do. I've got to succeed some how
Before people say Sparrow ain't in bou-dow
See me now on me knees, begging her darling please
I never see that since I born
She watch me in me face and she start to yawn
She say me Mama tell me don't drive with strangers in their motor car
And although you look like a decent stranger you might drive too far
There and then I felt like a fool
Because the girl playing me so cool
I decided to do the trick, last one in the book, otherwise I stick
So I pa** round with me guitar sing two Calypso for the mother
And then I ask the mother for she
If you see how she swell up she face at me
Mama, I thought you tell me don't drive with strangers in their motor car
The mother said yeah Sparrow's a decent stranger he won't go too far
