No bother feel no way.
It's coming close to payday I say.
No bother feel no way.
Everyman get paid account his work this day.
Cannot plant peas and reap rice.
Cannot plant coco and reap yam.
Cannot plant turnip and reap tomato.
Cannot plant breadfruit and reap potato.
Cannot tell lie and hear truth.
Cannot live bad and love good.
Cannot live up and get down.
Cannot give a dollar and want a pound.
Cannot be wrong and get right.
Cannot be kicked and don't fight.
Cannot drink water and get drunk.
Cannot drink whisky and stay sober.
