SORRY BANDIT? Written by Sheldon Manoo (2001)

Dis bound to make somebody smile

Cause criminals just doh give ah whooping funt

We need to show dem we jes eh fraid

And not tuh gih dem wah dey want,  Ah no

Well ah go tell yuh ar lil incident wah happen

Ahbout one midnight robber and he gun

Ah jes take ah lil fresh and preparing to sleep

Meh conscience tell meh boy take ah lil peep

He didn’t see me but I see he browsing

Ah doh know how he get in meh family housing

Without ah second thought ah sneak up, snatch he gun

Bawled to meh brothers then de fun began,  Man!

            We beat da bandit

            We kick da bandit

            We shake da bandit

            We hate all bandit

            So we beat da bandit

            For all de bandits

            Who ever rob we

            And all who rob anybody

            Yes we hit da bandit

  We cuff up da bandit

  Ruff up da bandit

  We eh know no bandit

  Hope we deter all bandit

  We thank God fuh de opportunity

  For not letting de bandit get to we

  Man after we depress da bandit

  We call police tuh arrest da bandit

And on de way to de holding cell

Boy dem officers gave him hell!      If yuh see how dey!

            Interrogate da bandit

            Dey question da bandit

            Whey yuh geh de gun from?

            Whey de hell yuh come from?

            Dey baton da bandit

            Dey tun da bandit

            Tell him he’s ah waste

            And ah big disgrace

            Put him in ah tight space

            Slap him in he blue face

            Gyul dey beat da bandit

            Ill treat da bandit

            Cause he deserve it

            So doh be ah bandit!

Cause after dey pluck up dat bandit

Dey jes lock up da bandit!
