Toots & The Maytals
Sweet and Dandy (Original)
[Intro: Toots]
Alright!

[Verse 1]
Eh hey! Etty inna room a-cry
Mama say she must wipe her eye
Papa say, "she nuh fi foolish like she never been to school at all"

[Chorus]
It is no wonder
It's a perfect ponder
While they were dancing in that ballroom last night

[Verse 2]
Eh hey! Johnson inna room a-fret
Uncle say him must hold up him head
Aunty say, "he nuh fi foolish like it's not time for his wedding day"

[Chorus]
It is no wonder
It's a perfect ponder
While they were dancing in that ballroom last night

[Verse 3]
One pound ten for the wedding cake
20 bottle of kola wine
All the people them dress up inna white
Fi go eat up Johnson wedding cake
[Chorus]
It is no wonder
It's a perfect ponder
While they were dancing in that ball room last night

[Verse 1]
Eh hey! Etty inna room a-cry
Mama say she must wipe her eye
Papa say, "she nuh fi foolish like she never been to school at all"

[Chorus]
It is no wonder
It's a perfect ponder
While they were dancing in that ballroom last night

[Verse 2]
Johnson inna room a-fret
Uncle say him must hold up him head
Aunty say, "he nuh fi foolish like it's not time for his wedding day"

[Chorus]
It is no wonder
It's a perfect ponder
While they were dancing in that ballroom last night

[Verse 3]
One pound ten for the wedding cake
And 20 bottle of kola wine
All the people them dress up inna white
Fi go eat up Johnson wedding cake
[Chorus]
It is no wonder
It's a perfect ponder
While they were dancing in that ballroom last night

[Outro]
Hey, but it was sweet and dandy, sweet and dandy
Sweet and dandy, sweet and dandy
Sweet and dandy, sweet and dandy
Sweet and dandy, oh (sweet and dandy)

It was sweet and dandy!
(Sweet and dandy, sweet and dandy)
It was sweet and dandy!
(Sweet and dandy, sweet and dandy)
It was sweet and dandy!
(Sweet and dandy, sweet and dandy)
It was sweet and dandy!
(Sweet and dandy, sweet and dandy)
