Rickety Road

My dog wears a red bandana
as we're walking down the road
I used to call him hey Johanna
he used to like to walk alone
on this rickety rickety road
on this rickety rickety road

Guts of a coconut scattered in the road
like the parts of an exploded wild garden toad
half cracked sardine cans with mustard explode
on this rickety rickety road
on this rickety rickety road

CHORUS
And the sun shines brightly every day
and the warm blue waters melt my troubles away
on this rickety rickety road
on this rickety rickety road

Rocking chairs beaded hair lizard on the wall
bug matts taxicabs strong carribbean souls
purple bouganveilla everywhere
panavision hummingbirds buzzing in the air
on this rickety rickety road
on this rickety rickety road

Swivel fans rusty pans let's soak inside the sea
snakes and toads roaring goats roots fruits beliefs
foreigners come and eat the land
blow down our shacks with the capital hand
on this rickety rickety road
on this rickety rickety road

CHORUS
And the sun shines brightly every day
and the warm blue waters melt my troubles away
on this rickety rickety road
on this rickety rickety road

Papaya falling down from a mountain tree
Fresh panties blowin on the line in the breeze
I dust a mango off so marvelous to eat
When the goats seperate can you cross the street
on this rickety rickety road
on this rickety rickety road
