Oh oh oh, a ya-so it a go dey 
A when the rice won't swell 
Man belly nah go full 
A when the rice won't swell 
Man belly nah go full 

The fire red hot 
No water's there to out it 

It a go be a bangarang 
(it's gonna be a bangarang) 
In this hawk and patou race 
(it's gonna be a big race) 
Some going too fast while some won't go 
(some won't go) 
So in de final it a go bring a confusion 

Then everyone will see who a de Gorgon 
And everyone will see who a de hero 
For when the rice won't swell 
Man belly nah go full 
And when belly nah full 
a ya-so it a go dey 

It a go be a bangarang 
(it's gonna be a bangarang) 
In this hawk and patou race 
(it's gonna be a big race) 
Some going too fast while some won't go 
(some won't go) 
So in de final it a go bring a confusion 

Then everyone will see who a de Gorgon 
And everyone will see who a de hero 
For when the rice won't swell 
Man belly nah go full 
And when belly nah full 
a ya-so it a go dey 

Oh oh oh, a ya-so it a go dey 
A when the rice won't swell 
Man belly nah go full 
A when the rice won't swell 
Man belly nah go full
