Lyrics
Ah! That's the beach
And carried me down on lipstick market
Last night I had a romance with a tongue tie lady
Who confessed that she so love me
Last night I had a romance with a tongue tie lady
Who then confess that she so love me
She said, "Dear, I'm all alone at home tonight
You can visit while me grandmother gone out of sight"
But later on when I want to hug and kiss
With the tie tongue language she saying this
"It's 25 to 12, get up
Me grandmother coming 12 o'clock
It's 25 to 12 get up
Mе grandmother coming 12 o'clock"
Well, friends now lеt me tell you
I'm a man of passion
When a Bajan beauty catch me eye
This lovely flower bud she set me teeth a nascent
When I see her, Lord, I moan and sigh
But on the sofa I decide to sneak a small caress
Later on may be try a little stupidness
She push me back, she start to break away
In the same tie tongue language again she say
"It's 20 to 12, please get up
Me grandmother coming 12 o'clock
25 to, no 20, 20 to 12, get up Harry, hm"
Well, by this time I really was exasperated
At her manner of rejecting me
I tell you out of all the things the Lord created
The woman make the worse calamity
On the sofa again I tried to sneak a kiss
Later on to convince her of some greater bliss
Right away, but in a voice not quite so strong
She start to sing she tie tongue song
"A quarter to 12, Harry get up
Harry, me grandmother coming I tell you honey
A quarter to 12, Harry get up
Me grandmother coming 12 o'clock"
Now friends you know a man
He should not be frustrated
When chasing some delectability
But I know this problem never will be eliminated
Until I'm reaching my senility
By this time I can see that she is getting weak
Me blood pressure rising to the danger peak
When I feel the romance coming soon
Right away she crooning the tongue tie tune
"10 to 12, Harry get up
Me Grandmother
Darlin', she coming at 12 o'clock
Harry, it's ten to 12
Now, come on, get up, Harry!"
Well, right away me brain recieve a revelation
How to make the fruit fall off the tree
If I want a chance to integrate me situation
I got to talk some other talk for she
Right away marriage talk was coming out me mouth
She smiled the conquest is no long in doubt
But before she reach insanity
With the last chance whisper she telling me
"It's 12 o'clock, Harry
Harry, Harry, it's 12 o'clock
Harry, it's 12 o'clock
And me grandmother coming
You can take it out and go, oh, no!
Harry! Harry! Harry! Harry! Ha-
Oh, hello, granny I would like you to meet me friend, Harry"
