Jingle Bells


by Fayemarie Anderson Carter

Refrain:

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, all the way to hell
All dem palitician do da greedy up deyself.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, all the way to hell
All dem palitican business unda di jail cell.

An election or two ago, dem promise wi a change,
But all we get instead is even more a di same
Red nar blue no mattah
Dey shoulda all just scattah
Cause inna di end, di money dem spend, da nuh pan me nor you NO!

Refrain
Time and time again, when election de rung di bend
Dem cum and tawk to you and seh how “we da fren”
But either way you vote, no wa rock di boat
Cas all a dey deh inna bed “tugethah forever”, dem said.

Refrain

I’ll Be Broke For Krismuss (tune of I’ll be Home for Christmas)


by Fayemarie Anderson Carter

I’ll be Broke for Christmas
Can’t afford a tree,
We’ll eat crow and my big toe,
‘Cause we depend on Dean.

Krismuss Eve will find me,
In a great quandary,
Pay the rent, it’s all been spent,
On doctor bills and school fees.

I’ll be Broke for Krismuss,
Can only afford some beans,
I’ll be broke for Krismuss,
It’s not the one I dreamed
