Cheeze man!

Dese lights gihing me hell,

When I put dese down last year

Dey was working well.

 

I buy dese Christmas lights

Only last year

And duh getting more expensive!

This isn’t fair.

 

Not one complete string

Is not burning

And I telling wunna,

Right now, dis got me fuming.

 

Only last year!

And I put dem down good

And uh neatly wrap them up

As uh should.

And now, dis!

Dis cud be fuh real?

I change out so many bulbs

And evah time uh fail.

 

If only I cud find de receets

I wud cah dese back

And ask back fuh my money:

Dah’s a true fact!

 

I mek up my mind

Dis year I en buying none,

Not a string, not a bulb,

Not a single wun.

 

Duh too expensive

An’ I en got nuh money,

You cud laugh all you like

But I en fine it funny.

 

Last year lights

Does give nuff trouble,

Yuh is tek dem down wid expectation

But duh does bust yuh bubble.

 

Jest like some people-

Yuh is cahn depen’ pun dum;

Yuk better doan tek duh word,

Dum is nuff problum.

Dese last year lights;

I should o’ leff dum up,

I have a strong, strong feeling

I would o’ had better luck.

 

Yuh see me,

Cause it seem to me

I got a second-year blight.

 

Gih me some lights

Fuh my pre-Christmas gift,

Mek sure dum en last year lights;

Yuh ketch my drift?
