Roof over mi head Sister Nancy

A ting called the housing scheme
And I Sister Nancy just a do it well clean
When you sick or if you lame or your damn blast and mean
It's the housing scheme, you know?

I tell you fi build a little housing scheme
Mi lion you fi build a little housing scheme
Who some a in a red some blue and green
Some sekkle inna purple, yellow, black and also green

I tell you fi build a little housing scheme (hey)
Tell you fi build a little roof over yu head
Tell you fi build a little roof over yu head
Me landlord come him a act violent
Him lick off yo door if you no want mi rent
I tell myself fi build a little roof over ya head

Tell me I can't get a brick, you use bag a stone
And likkle after that you have a house of your own
The landlord can't come kick off your door

Better put a little roof over yo head
Cah you fi put a little roof over yo head

I tell you whether natty dread or a whether baldhead
Ah I Sister Nancy just a do it instead
