Lyrics to Longshot Kick The Bucket

[jason]

Don't know about anyone else but I have never been able to grasp the
complete lyrics to this song since I first hear it.

What a weepin' and wailin' dung a Caymanas park
Long Shot - him kick de bucket

Get up, get up in the first race
and them pull up the pace
Get up, get up in the first race
and them pull up the pace

and Long Shot - him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket

Them wail, them wail, them reel
but they couldn't take the trail
Them wail, them wail, them reel
but they couldn't take the trail

and Long Shot - him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket

It was Starbright, Combat, Corazon Long Shot on the rear
It was Starbright, Combat, Corazon Long Shot on the rear
Combat fell, Long Shot fell all we money gone a hell
all we money gone a hell

and Long Shot - him kick de bucket
Long Shot kick de bucket

[Mark Downie]

That's because you were looking at a lyric site instead of listening to the original song. Those lyrics are not entirely correct.

Here are the definitive lyrics:

 

Long Shot Kick The Bucket

by The Pioneers

What a weeping, and a wailing, down at Caymanas Park.
What a weeping, and a wailing, down at Caymanas Park.
Long Shot, He Kickee bucket.
Long Shot kickee bucket.

It happen, it happen in the first race,
and it cold up the place.
It happen, it happen in the first race,
and it cold up the place..

Long Shot kickee bucket.
Long shot kickee bucket.

Him wheel, him wheel, him rail.
But he couldn't take the trail.
Him wheel, him wheel, him rail.
But he couldn't take the trail.

Long Shot, He Kickee bucket.
Long Shot kickee bucket.

It was Gayblade, Combat, Carousel,
Long Shot on the rail.
It was Gayblade, Combat, Carousel,
Long Shot on the rail.

Combat fell, Long Shot fell

All we money gone-a-hell
All we money gone-a-hell

Long Shot, He Kickee bucket.
Long Shot kickee bucket.

I hope that clears it up for you.

I actually got the lyrics of a Brazilian reggae site. So it looks
like something's got lost in the translation from English with a
strong JA accent to Portuguese then back into English.

You should see the lyric sheet that came with the Japanese 12" release
of the Too Much Too Young EP.

I'll scan if people want.

I finally got the 12" versions of Pauline Blacks singles into MP3 -
who wanted them? I can email tomorrow

I also made MP3 of Pirates Of The Airwaves from the 12" but didn't
bother with the pic disc as I think they are the same as the single.
I'll email them to whomever wants as well. Pirates is Sunday Best
which were Pauline, Neville and Lynval
