GUEST,Penny Lyr ADD: Man Piabba (Harry Belafonte) (26) RE: Harry Belafonte - Man Piabba Lyrics 17 May 01


I know the opening lines of this song:

When I was a lad just three foot three Certain questions occurred to me So I asked my father most curiously Tell me the story of the bird and bee

He stammered and he stuttered pathetically And this is what he said to me

He said the woman piabba and the man piab And the tom-tom cole bout the lemon grass The lily root cully root belly root uhg And the famous brandy scratch scratch

Well it was clear as mud but it covered the ground And the confusion made my brain go round All the great men upon this earth Have confused me since my birth

I think I actually have this album somewhere. I will try to locate it and update more lyrics if I can.
