[Verse 1]
Eleven an' eleven that a twenty two
Twenty one an' twenty one that a forty two
Forty one an' forty one show a eighty two
You must not bite what you can't chew
Mi favorite nuts, that a cashew
I'm Billy Boyo, him just a pass through
One, say, two, operator, dat a you
Temper in her eye, it black an' blue
She say, "I can't go fi radication fi you"
What cyaan do as radication do?
Don't tell no one, them have the same problem too
[Chorus]
