Lyrics

A woman write a letter to the doc inquiring
 "Tell me why you ban B.G. plantain"
 "Doctor," she said, "I am inquiring
 Why de hell you ban B.G. plantain?
 Doctor, I can't take it no longer
 Like if you want me to suffer with hunger
 Trinidad plantain ain't good at all
 And so the men making style wid dem, so they small"
 But one B.G. plantain does full up de pot
 It's so satisfying, 'specially when hot
 Lord knows ah suffering
 Since you ban B.G. plantain
 It is to much to bear
 Doctor, you too unfair
 I will do anything
 To taste a B.G. plantain
 Dear Doctor, I hope you will agree
 To change the law and show some sympathy
 Even tho' you are angry with B.G.
 Why should you make we pay de penalty?
 You say you want us to use local plantain
 But dis is one time you ain't know wha' you doing
 De plantain here in this place
 Too small, too soft, and got no blasted taste
 But one B.G. plantain does full up de pot
 It's so satisfying, 'specially when hot
 Lord knows ah suffering
 Since they ban B.G. plantain
 It is to much to bear
 Doctor, you too unfair
 I will do anything
 To taste a B.G. plantain
 Woy oy oy
 Aye aye aye, mama
 She tell me even when she sleeping it's confusion
 Dreaming how she have a big plantain in she hand
 "Mister," she said, "ah going staring mad
 You can't imagine how ah want dis thing so bad"
 Freighter from B.G. so I send de girl by him
 When she come back she fuming and cussing
 Asking if I ain't hear wha' she say
 She want plantain and I send she for sikiye
 But one B.G. plantain does full up de pot
 Lord knows ah suffering
 Since they ban B.G. plantain
 It is to much to bear
 Doctor, you too unfair
 I will do anything
 To taste a B.G. plantain
 Since de B.G. boat don't bring plantain again
 Only up in Toco you could find some good size grain
 De vendors in de city only fas and bobol face
 Except for Massy Fay and big-nose Amal Bess
 Still dem is joke to real B.G. plantain
 When it hanging on de tree it still dragging
 Long like a man hand, tough like iron
 Dat is why ah want de Doctor to raise de ban
 One B.G. plantain does full up de pot
 It's so satisfying, 'specially when hot
 Lord knows ah suffering
 Since they ban B.G. plantain
 It is to much to bear
 Doctor, you too unfair
 I will do anything
 To taste a B.G. plantain
