Suzie Wong by Nicodemus Lyrics
[Intro]
Nuff of dem a shot, but nuff of dem a sting
Me come like a plane, like come from foreign
Born as a single, me no born as no twin
Call me out fi sing
[Chorus]
Suzie Wong, she a Japanese, I man a black man
Live a Miami, but she live a Japan
She a eighteen, but me past twenty one
Every weekend she call me long distant
I'm talking on the phone, I want some corporation
Whisper inna mi ear, mi temperature get strong
Last night she a tell me is the only one
[Verse 1]
Mi say, me hear dem a eat man down a Westmoreland
That's why me no go deh go nice up no session
Me no want dem eat mi foot, and me no want dem eat mi hand
Me no want dem boil mi head inna no kerosine pan
[Chorus]
Suzie Wong, she a Japanese, I man a black man
Live a Miami, but she live a Japan
She a eighteen, but me past twenty one
Every weekend she call me long distant
I'm talking on the phone, I want some corporation
She whisper inna mi ear, mi temperature get strong
Last night she a tell me is the only one
[Verse 2]
Say, Danny Dread, a weh you get the sound from?
Say, Danny Dread, a weh you get the sound from?
Mi say, him get it from the general, the man Skengman
Send it come, Jah man, fi rule the island
Nicodemus, Super Cat, and mi say Burro Banton
[Chorus]
Suzie Wong, she a Japanese, I man a black man
Live a Miami, but she live a Japan
She a eighteen, but me past twenty one
And every weekend she call me long distant
I'm talking on the phone, I want some corporation
She whisper inna mi ear, mi temperature get strong
Last night she a tell me is the only one
[Verse 1]
Mi say, me hear dem a eat man down a Westmoreland
That's why me no go deh go nice up no session
Me no want dem eat mi foot, and me no want dem eat mi hand
Me no want dem boil mi head inna no kerosine pan
[Chorus]
Suzie Wong, she a Japanese, I man a black man
Me live a Miami, but she live a Japan
But she a eighteen, but me past twenty one
And every weekend she call me long distant
I'm talking on the phone, I want some corporation
She whisper inna mi ear, mi temperature get strong
Last night she a tell me is the only one
[Verse 2]
But, Danny Dread, a weh you get the sound from?
Say, Danny Dread, a weh you get the sound from?
Him say, him get it from the general, the man Skengman
Him send it come, Jah man, fi rule the island
Nicodemus, Super Cat, and Burro Banton
We come fi separate, mi say, the boy from the man
We come fi separate the sound from the pan
[Chorus]
Suzie Wong, but she a Japanese, I man a black man
Me live a Miami, but she live a Japan
But she a eighteen, but me past twenty one
And every weekend she call me long distant
I'm talking on the phone, I want some corporation
She whisper inna mi ear, mi temperature get strong
Last night she a tell me is the only one
[Verse 1]
Because, me hear dem a eat man down a Westmoreland
That's why me no go deh go nice up no session
Me no want dem eat mi foot, and me no want dem eat mi hand
Me no want dem boil mi head inna no kerosine pan
[Chorus]
Suzie Wong, but she a Japanese, I man a black man
Me live a Miami, but she live a Japan
But she a eighteen, but me past twenty one
And every weekend she call me long distant
I'm talking on the phone, I want some corporation
She whisper inna mi ear, mi temperature get strong
Last night she a tell me, me is the only one
[Outro]
For mi say, everywhere we go, dem just a shake off we hand
Dem say, "Mr. Demus, you a champion"
Nuff of dem a shot, but nuff of dem a sting
Me come like a plane, like come from foreign
Born as a single, me no born as no twin
Call me out fi sing
[Chorus]
Suzie Wong, she a Japanese, I man a black man
Live a Miami, but she live a Japan
She a eighteen, but me past twenty one
Every weekend she call me long distant
I'm talking on the phone, I want some corporation
Whisper inna mi ear, mi temperature get strong
Last night she a tell me is the only one

Me no want dem eat mi foot, and me no want dem eat mi hand
