Walter Ferguson - Babylon

Serenade

One night we been to a serenade
Me and me combo band
There was nothing to be afraid
They recognize me as the famous calypsonian
They recognize me as the famous calypsonian

We went up on a building
We started to sing melodiously
But as soon as we start to sing
Everybody was listening attentively (bis)

We singing
Young gal, leave me bachelor room
Young gal, I'm begging you to leave me bachelor room
Rice and peas is very nice

All of a sudden we had to stop
A woman was standing at the door
She look at bottom and she look at up
And she started to make a big uproar

And she singing
I am a woman
I am quite romantic
The woman was staring straight in my face
Me no want no calypso music
Pack up your thing and get out me place (bis)

Now I notice my combo band
Ready to go immediately
But I made them to understand
Better if we change our melody (bis)

Hear we singing
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You never knew dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My sunshine away (bis)

Now the woman was very sad
She came to make an apology
What she did was so very
But she beg me to sing back me melody

Hear we singing
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You never knew dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My sunshine away

Now I notice my combo band
Was getting ready to go
But she made us to understand
She wanted us to sing our calypso

Hear we singing
Young gal, leave me bachelor room
Young gal, I'm begging you to leave me bachelor room
Rice and peas is very nice
Eat it once and I eat it twice
Young gal, yes, leave me bachelor room
Young gal, leave me bachelor room
Young gal, I'm begging you to leave me bachelor room

I told you once and I will tell you twice
Rice and peas is very nice
Young gal, please, leave me bachelor room
Young gal, you better leave me bachelor room
Young gal, leave me bachelor room
