Brain Washing lyrics

[Lee Perry]

Ooh-ooh
Old Mr. Joe, he build a house away
On top of some hill
Old Mr. Joe knew he had to go, so he
He got right down and wrote bank will
He say now, here`s to mother hen
And her chicken, Lord have mercy now
Master, will you take a roll in the mud
Like you know you should?
The old barnyard, the old barnyard
Birds and the chick, ooh-wee
Who`s got to watch out for brother mongoose
With his top hap and walking-stick?

It`s just the poor`s brain washing
(Poor`s ...) They told me a long time ago,
It`s just the poor`s brain washing, ooh-wee
(Poor`s brain washing) Now look at a thing like this

Cinderella and her long lost fellow
In the midnight hour, she lost her silver slipper
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
While Jack and Jill had themselves a fall

It`s just the poor`s (... brain washing)
And I don`t need it no longer (... washing)
It`s just the poor`s brain washing
Coming through to a poor man`s child, ooh-wee, look at this

Little Miss Muffet she sat on a tuffet
While Little Red Riding Hood delivered her grandmom`s food
Ooh-wee ooh-wee
Ooh-wee, look at one more thing like this
The cow jumping over the moon
While the dish got jealous, he grabbed the handy spoon

It`s just the poor`s brain washing
And I don`t need it no longer, I don`t want it no longer
I don`t need it no longer (...washing)
And I don`t care for no more brain washing (... washing) ...
