Why you tell me what they fightin' for?
Me lion, why you tell me what they fightin' for?
Mambo-do-ding-de-do-ding, tell me what they fightin' for?
But me say war, war, war
Everywhere we go, nothing should appear war
Me lion, me say war inna east, west, north and south
Every bad boy come a run up the mouth
I miss a cat, me say me come here fi go shout
Why you tell me what they fightin' for?
Me lion, why you tell me what they fightin' for?
Mambo-do-ding-de-do-ding, tell me what they fightin' for?
