Bottle & Spoon - Lord Relator (1981)

[verse 1]
Well is music time in any gang
When you see man start to parang
All de instruments does be in tune
But dey doh leave out de bottle & spoon

[chorus]
You see with bottle & spoon
Man does be ringing out real tune
De drum and bass go fall in place
Yuh bottle half with water
Is bacchanal and manslaughter
Sweet music in de place

[verse 2]
Whiskey bottle or rum bottle
Does sound real nice, when ah man rattle
So for de Carnival dis year go be real hell
Is bacchanal, plenty spoon go sell

[chorus]

[verse 3]
I heard it from a steelband man
He name Bradshaw, he's an iron man
Yes he told me plain, dat very soon
Pan men going back to bottle and spoon

[chorus]

[verse 4]
If yuh bottle small, yuh must realize
Dat de spoon to use is ah medium size
Cause if yuh spoon too large, well then is manslaughter
Yuh bottle going to break and throw way de water

[chorus]
