(Chorus): I'm back with a new batch And a hatchet that I bought from scratch
I am putting down the pistols and the rifles No time for such trifles So just catch a hold to hear the half that never been told You have already witnessed the shooting match so don't get too bold And I am back with a new batch Batten down the hatches, we are setting sail accross the version sea Like walking on the Galilee, so take a little stroll with me I'm back with a new batch and children shouldn't play with matches And if your roof made of thatch I said the roof will catch Look at that, watch that!
Don't make me read you the riot act You know I am the man from way back And if I attack, your mind will crack Fracture your brain and drive you insane So I tell you again, don't make me read you the riot act Yes, I have put down the pistols and the rifles, No time for such trifles, not seeking no battle, I don't need to raise cattle, 'cause the milk is free But mind how you watch me And don't you take me for a milk cow
I will never forget the time you call me greedy While all the while, a you who count my money! Well watch that! Because I am back with a new batch!
The proof is in the pudding And by its fruits shall you know a tree So go, go and watch over your pennies As Jah Jah feed and watch over me
