Mighty Sparrow - Robbery with V (With Lyrics)

Details

Description

This is one angry Sparrow. In 1961 he lost the competition singing the popular song Royal Jail to Dougla's Laziest Man. In 1962 Sparrow answered with Robbery with V. Sorry I don't have the original Royal Jail, maybe later.

ROBBERY WITH V
They want a new king, they will do anything
They want a new king, they will do anything
Well they don't like my way how I sticking out for money,
if I don't get paid I ain't singing for nobody
They decide to clip me wing and put an obstacle there as king
A man with no originality no stage personality they trying to make me look small
All he have is a deep croon but he won't change the tune at all
This song, that song, same melody, no variety
If you don't believe me you can aks anybody if it ain't robbery with V

Hiding the judges name at first they feeling shamed,
They feel they spiting me but they to blind to see,
I am the only man does fight for calypsonians right here on this island getting no appreciation instead of helping me up the fighting for progress to stop
They put a man with no originality, no stage personality, they trying to make me look small
I know he have a deep croon but when he go change that tune,
This song, that song, same melody, no variety
Well if you don't believe me you could aks anybody if it ain't robbery with V

Now try and remember, I have nothing against Dougla,
We all went up to sing and all of we hope was to win
It is the committee that making it they duty, forgetting ability and extending sympathy
But is one thing they learn, they gain the crown but I had the throne
He ain't have no stage personality, no originality, they can't make me look small
All he have is a deep croon but he wouldn't change the tune at all,
This song, that song, same melody, no variety
Well if you don't believe me you can aks anybody if it ain't robbery with V

They say I am not a sport, call me names of every sort
BUT I WANT THEM TO KNOW MY WHOLE LIFE IS CALYPSO
I TAKE IT SEROUSLY I AIN'T CARE WHO SAY I SILLY,
IT'S A JOB TO ME NO ONE SHOULD DISAGREE
ALL I AM BEGGING THEM TO DO IS GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
Don't put no man with no originality, no stage personality, don't try to make me look small
Because all he have is a deep croon, tell me when he go change the tune
This song, that song, same melody, no variety,
Well if you don't believe me, you can aks anybody if it ain't robbery with V.
