ruth wallis - the girl with the swingin' derrière lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
me man disappeared in jamaica
i’ve given him up now for dead
the last he was seen, he was following
a girl with a basket on her head

[chorus]
a tisket, a tasket
a cute jamaica basket
it belonged to a wench
whose mama was french
the girl with the swingin’ derrière

[verse 2]
we first see her down by the market
she walked slowly and so gracefully
her basket, her basket was stacked high with flowers
and like the basket is stacked, so was shе

[chorus]
a tisket, a tasket
a cute jamaica baskеt
me man acted like a square
he just stand there and stare
at the girl with the swingin’ derrière
[bridge]
a blue sash was holding her skirt up
i know his thoughts off the bat
he say he be back in a moment
with him, it don’t take longer than that

[verse 3]
we only been married four hours
just starting on our honeymoon
a new bride expects to lose something
but who thought that it would be the groom?

[chorus]
a tisket, a tasket
a cute jamaica basket
i did not see her face
but i know it any place
i mean, that swingin’ derrière

[verse 4]
so soon, i be leavin’ jamaica
what a honeymoon i almost spent
the only bride who came back home to mama
just the same as the way as she went

[chorus]
a tisket, a tasket
a cute jamaica basket
has no one seen a guy
with that look in his eye
behind a girl with a swingin’ derrière?
[outro]
it be takin’ him so long
maybe something gone wrong
tell me, how long do it take
to make a jamaican basket?
eh!
