They call me the Blacky of the Batey
Because work for me is an enemy
I leave all the working to the ox
Because work was made by God as a punishment
I like merengue
With a black trench-digger and a good girl
I like dancing with her
Dancing side by side
With a attractive Black girl
They call me Blacky...
And I'll tell you if it's not true
Merengue is much better
And I'll tell you if it's not true
Merengue is much better
Because that working
Causes me pain
Because that working
causes me pain
She really likes that gentle ox
But he's never gotten dengue fever
She really likes that gentle ox
Be he's never gotten dengue fever
And I will dance with a good Black girl
Until there is good merengue
And I will dance with a nice Black girl
Until there is good merengue
