Christmas night was confusion Mama believe me I jump in a steel band It was the Girl Pat Orchestra coming dozen With some fiery tunes to burn the town So I jump in the band without hesitation And ask the leader for a beat on her ping pong.
Chorus:- Give me a beat on your pomalong, pomalong, pom, pom And armed with my big stick in my hand Give me a beat on your pomalong, pomalong, pomalong, pom, pom, pomalong.
The woman start to bawl like a ram goat I'll give you a beat but I 'fraid you bust the note I said darling I'll be careful Because I see that the ping pong is very beautiful She said that stick you got too big for this pan And if you bust the notes I have another one. I said honey I give you a guarantee That if you give me a beats I will touch the notes softly.
All that I beg for she wouldn't give me So I said I got to do a little showing off on she So I snatch another girl's ping pong And I start to beat a beautiful little song Bass player then started to get jealous Zebbie I want my tune boom test But before I touch a note the leader start to shout.
Chorus:- Don't let him beat on your pomalong, pom, pom He going to mash up your tomalong, pang, pang Give me a beat on your tomalong, pom, pang, pamlong
When I saw water more than flower I ddecided to start making advances on her So I spoke some remarkable English But she turn to me and said, Zebbie you foolish I could have give you a beat without all that fuss But that stick you got is ridiculous So I left the band and ran home like a mad man And I work down the stick to suit the occasion.
