Licking Stick

Desmond Dekker

Papa, papa, papa
Do not lick me with that
Mama, mama, mama
It licked too hot

I've got the flipping hiccups, mama
I've got the flipping hiccups, papa

Mama, mama, mama
Are you feeling sick
Papa, papa licked me
With the licking stick

I've got the flipping hiccups, mama
I've got the flipping hiccups, papa

Papa, papa, papa
Do not lick me with that
Mama, mama, mama
It licked too hot

I've got the flipping hiccups, mama
I've got the flipping hiccups, papa

Mama, mama, mama
I am feeling sick
Papa, papa licked me
With the licking stick

I've got the flipping hiccups, mama
I've got the flipping hiccups, papa

Mama, please tell daddy
Do not hit me with that
Mama, I'm feeling pain
I'm really, really feeling

Mama, help me tell my daddy
To help me, I can't stand it, I can't
No, I can't stand it
No, no, I can't
