| Eh hey! |
| Etty in the room a cry |
| Mama say she must, «wipe her eyes» |
| Papa say, «she nuh fi foolish like she never been to school at all» |

| It’s a perfect ponder |
| While they were dancing |
| In that ball room last night |
| Eh hey! |
| Johnson in the room a fret |
| Uncle say he must, «hold up him head!» |
| Aunty say, «him nuh fi foolish like a nuh time fi him wedding day» |
| It is no wonder |
| It’s a perfect ponder |
| Why they were dancing |
| In that ball room last night |
| One pound ten for the wedding cake |
| 20 bottle of cola wine |
| All the people them dress up inna white |
| Fi go eat out Johnson wedding cake |
| It is no wonder |
| It’s a perfect ponder |
