Living in a bumbo hut
In a little hole sea-port town
Three kids on the floor
And another one to come make four
Day, day by day
I man step it along the sea shore

Wenchman, sprat and makaba (i tell you man)
Yes, brother Peter
Wenchman, sprat and makaba
{refrain 2}
We've got to reach on higher grounds
Yo, yo

Simon, Peter, James and John come a shore
To feed the hungry belly ones
{repeat}
So

Lots of hungry belly pickanee they a shore (millions of them)
