LYRICS FOR "Finger Smith"
Now
Be careful of your neighborhood pick-pocket
Me [unverified] them call name slick
Who this?
Well
Your neighborhood pick-pocket
Well
Your neighborhood pick-pocket
Now
Hole heap a pocket
Him pick bill [unverified]
Hand bag and pocket book purse and make-up kit
In a woman bag
In a dread locks jacket
Behind him ears
Him take three [unverified] out a haggler basket
Take a tin a Vaseline out of a young girl pocket
Take ten pantyhose
Take a gal teeth from under her top lip
Take off a gal hair and leave on the clip
Take off a guy shoes and leave the polish
Strip a gal naked and she don't even feel it
Who do it? Mr
Original Finger Smith from down in your district
That's why
Well
Your neighborhood pick-pocket
Well
Your neighborhood pick-pocket
What is his occupation
A pick-pocket tycoon with a healthy profit
Number one in a the business top of the market
Him thief milk out of coffee and proud to say it
Him have him pick-pocket school
Graduating class about one hundred and six
Teach the tricks and the trade and how to make it
And if you graduate first teach them the secret
That's why
Well
Your neighborhood pick-pocket

Say him get up this morning at about quarter past six
And try fi get a bus fi go in a him district
A jolly bus draw down in the back where him sit
While the driver put on some reggae music

Pay him bus fair
Him just walk down the corridor
Him step off a the bus
And then him feel a cool breeze
Him look down de

Them take off him pants and leave on the zip
Them take off him brief and leave the elastic
Take off him balls and leave hair pan it

Take a gal teeth from under her top lip
Take off a gal hair and leave on the clip
Take off a guy shoes and leave the polish
Strip a gal naked and she don't even feel it
