Yes, Morwen: as I said above, 1253 pm, I agree with you.
As to whether I think the song ironic: probably not, I suspect, as Lord Invader a Trinidadian and pretty well all W Indian parents of my acquaintance have been very physically strict with their children ~ all the many W Indian pupils I taught over 30 years as a senior teacher accepted CorPun as quite a normal expectation as a disciplinary measure.
