Sunshine for I Songtext
von I‐Roy

Oh no, no
Badnong-ba-di-ba-dang-ba-day
Widdily-widdily-bing-ba-di-ba-dai
Now watch this

Doo-bap, nuff sugar
But di sun did just shine for I
When you come up early mornin′
See you dressed up in your jacket and tie
All over the world dem travellin' ′round, 'round, 'round, ′round
An′ still it sound fine
But my favorite love song, oh Lord, mercy
I say, he's just a guy, Lord have mercy


Woman, dem a spend more money than man
Whether dem gone a Panama or down a Grand Cayman
See dem in a Miami, in a Disneyland
Man and a woman dress up in a long john
Gone a street side, gone buy some chop pan
Rock dem yah music ′til you broke off your hand
But dem yah tune haffi go number one
Lord have mercy, New York City an' di Caribbean

I say, doo-bap, doo-bap, da-day
But di sun shine for I
I said, a wake up early morning
All dressed up in my jacket and tie
An′ when me fling dem yah lyrics, would I tell you no lie?


Come at mi stable, say, you must get a bly
No bother come yah come use no Spanish fly
'Cause I′m di general, mi no sell some fine
Stee-bop-ba, ste-ba-ba-dap
Di sun shine for I
Drink your beer an' stout, oh Lord, until you cry
An' when you hear dem yah riddim, yeah
Lord have mercy, you must get a bly
You soon an′ call your daughter
An′ a squeeze her an' kiss her, say goodbye
Wake up early morning in mi jacket and tie
If I lie, me must, under di wood, a cry
All come at mi school an′ you must get a bly
No bother shout, "Budubye, budubye, budubye, budubye-bye-bye"
One for di money, mi say, two for the show
Hear di general like a ribbon bow
When you hear a dem yah music, then you wiggle pon your toe
Hear Selecta, Josco an' a Ranking Joe

Scam-ba-dasky-ba-ba-di
Say, di sun shine for I
Listen di general tell you right now, I will tell you no lie

I say, the good is di Lord an′ di fullness thereof
Man a shout, mi say, woman a bawl
You go leave from Spanish Town an' you goin′ a White Hall
Leave from deh so, Lord, end up in a City Hall
Look 'pon your mouth, how it full of white squall
It ain't if dem long or a if dem tall
Fling dem yah lyrics an′ dem buss dem bitter gall

Lord have mercy, mi say dat, di sun shine for I
People all over the world, when I fling
Dem yah love song, I will tell you no lie

I say dat, eeny-miney, mincy-miney-mo
Kiss dem yah lyrics an′ you wiggle 'pon your toe
Drink up di beer an′ stout, make your lip flow
Cock out your hand like you a dance ribbon bow
