Rufus
Rufus, a clever Barbadian, had a good invention
Rufus, smart Barbadian man, had a great invention
It was last year Christmas he invented a compass
And had the whole of the place confused
He explaining how this compass must use
He say, "Anytime you walking through the town
Spin your compass round and round
Wherever it points, you could have a bet
You bound to get free rum and cigarettes!"
That smart man getting entertainment
Without spending one cent
Invitation? He ain't know about that one
All he want is free fun
Don't care we have fry fish hiding
The compass have a way like if he does guide him
It is ridiculous I won't lie, Bajan want nothing he got to buy
He say, "Anytime you walking through the town
Spin your compass round and round
Wherever it points, you could have a bet
You bound to get free rum and cigarettes!"
Rufus, that man have so much trick
And like he working with magic
He don't travel unless he have the compass
Lord, and so he could work fast
On and on he go, he no stopping
Day and night, night and day he mopping
One day he couldn't find free whisky
He kick the compass for not functioning properly
Oh when he dress up and he walking through the town
Spinning the compass round and round
It point at the jail, Rufus start to swear
"God blind you, you ain't going tuck me in there!"
Parties, dances, even wake
The Bajan glutton don't make a mistake
And if a neighbour next door start boiling a ham
Just so Rufus' compass start to alarm
But where he got a big big throwdown
He invade a cock fight fête up in John John
They take him for a police and that was the case
Break the compass and kick him outta the place
He say, "Anytime you walking through the town
Spin your compass round and round
Wherever it points, you could have a bet
There's free food, free rum and cigarettes!"
