Eek-A-Mouse - Border Patrol
To get across the border, ain't no jive
Trying harder, harder
To get across the border, to hit the I-95
I'll walk, I'll talk, but I not crawl
On my belly like a reptile - Jah know!
I'll walk, I'll talk, but I not crawl
On my belly like a reptile, hmmm
Going to Miami via Vancouver coming from Jamaica
Don-ding, don, ding-ding-ding
I was on the outside, for some reason
They won't let me enter, hmmm
I went to the border
They say my passport was not in order, and so
Seven of us got back on the bus
Felt like a looser, hmmm
We went from rooms, we got some food
Am I a dreamer, hmmm
I went to some club
They were playing reggae, rock, and blues a, hmmm
I know I a winner
But this time they say I'm a looser
But I said, hey, but I said, hey
It's getting harder, harder
To get across the border, ain't no jive
Trying harder, harder
To get across the border, to hit the I-95
I'll walk, I'll talk, but I not crawl
On my belly like a reptile - Jah know!
I'll walk, I'll talk, but I not crawl
On my belly like a reptile
The next day I came back to the embassy
Don-ding, don, ding-ding-ding
I was an early birdie at 8:30, hmmm
Set the mouse free, let him enter, hmmm
Don't forget immigrants build this country, hmmm
Out of all the people
Me they decided to remove a, hmmm
He said come this way
You look like somebody we a look for, hmmm
Searching my bag, take my shoe
Ran it through the computer
Dong, ding-ding, ding-ding
Wump-pem-pay-ay
Wump-pem-pay pay-pay pay-ow
Who feels it knows it
Wump-pem-pay-ay
Wump-pem-pay pay-pay pay-ow
I'm about to expose it
It's getting harder, harder
To get across the border, ain't no jive
Trying harder, harder
To get across the border, to hit the I-95
I'll walk, I'll talk, but I not crawl
On my belly like a reptile - Jah know!
I'll walk, I'll talk, but I not crawl
On my belly like a reptile, hmmm
Cock-a-doodle-doo, doodle-doo-oo I am the rooster, hmmm
Stop spinning me around like I'm some roller coaster
Don-ding, don, ding-ding, ding-ding
You make it seems I'm the most wanted, hmmm
Take me out of this room, it's so scary and haunted, hmmm
Jamaica, Jamaica, I am a teacher, hmmm
I'm a singer, an actor, born entertainer, hmmm
You've taken away my passport and my visa, hmmm
Sending me away, back to Jamaica, hmmm
It's getting harder, harder
To get across the border, ain't no jive
Trying harder, harder
To get across the border, to hit the I-95
It's getting harder, harder
To get across the border, ain't no jive
Trying harder, harder
To get across the border, to hit the I-95
I'll walk, I'll talk, but I not crawl
On my belly like a reptile - Jah know!
I'll walk, I'll talk, but I not crawl
On my belly like a reptile
I'll walk, I'll talk, but I not crawl
On my belly like a reptile - Jah know!
I'll walk, I'll talk, but I not crawl
On my belly like a reptile
I was on my way to California
Coming from Tijuana, Mexican border
I was there with a Mexican who was a poncho villa, hmmm
He said to me, do you want [?] time for a salsa, hmmm
I said I've got to go, I've got to go to California, hmmm
Immigration officer let me pass the border, hmmm
You know what I got to do, a show in Los Angeles, California, hmmm
It's getting harder, harder
To get across the border, ain't no jive
Trying harder, harder
To get across the border, to hit the I-95
I'll walk, I'll talk, but I not crawl
On my belly like a reptile - Jah know!
I'll walk, I'll talk, but I not crawl
On my belly like a reptile
Going to Miami via Vancouver coming from Jamaica
Don-ding, don, ding-ding-ding
I was on the outside, for some reason
They won't let me enter
Don-ding, don, ding-ding-ding
I went to the border they say my passport was not in order, and so
Seven of us got back on the bus, felt like a looser
Don-ding, don, ding-ding-ding
We got some food and we got some rooms in Vancouver
Don-ding, don, ding-ding-ding
We went to some club
They were playing reggae, rock, and blues a
I can not confuse a
I guess I was winner
But this time they said I was a looser
I not confuse a, what I said
I'll walk, I'll talk, but I not crawl
On my belly like a reptile - Jah know!
I'll walk, I'll talk, but I not crawl
On my belly like a reptile
It's getting harder, harder
To get across the border, ain't no jive
Trying harder, harder
To get across the border, to hit the I-95
