lyrics

Black man food

Palalé, the mishilá and the concanté
I tell you that is black man food
Tell hungry belly to go away
No matter how inflation is gettin rude

Gimme me ñampi, cocoa and banana
Add ya man calalloo
Tell it to your neighbor
May he come and join with you

Yuca bami and a ripe pear and
A mug of cocotea
And you neighbor try to interfeare
You blast his soul in bombodee

I sing it:
Palalé, the mishilá and the concanté

One day I was cooking palalé
There came a gal they call Winifred
I know she will join at me
So I hide me palalé under me bed

Palalé, the mishilá and the concanté
I tell you that is black man food
Tell hungry belly to go away
No matter how inflation is gettin rude

Gimme me ñampi, cocoa and banana
Add ya man calalloo
Tell it to your neighbor
May he come and join with you

Yuca bami and a ripe pear and
A mug of cocotea
And if you neighbor try to interfeare
You blast his soul in bombodee
