Da Beega Man

Da Beega man I like for shave,

     He always tak’ my chair;

He som’tam spreeng a joke weeth me

     When I cut heesa hair.

He say, “I have not mucha hair,”

     Weethout da smile or laugh;

“You have no right for charga me,”

     He say, “but justa half.”

I know he maka joke weeth me,

     So when he come for shave

I have a gooda one for heem,

     Some joke w’eech I have save.

I say to heem, “You face so beeg

     Can’t shave for sama price;

Et take so longa time for do

     I have to charge you twice!”
