Three hundred times him say it
Three hundred times him say it
Three hundred times him say it
An di ship dem still a float
Radio come een a quarter to two,
man inna Washington open him mout.
Say we are talking to Iran,
say it soft, like a hymn.
Mi mark a line pon di record sleeve
every time di word come round.
Three hundred times him say it
Three hundred times him say it
Three hundred times him say it
An di ship dem still a float
Same bulletin, di same breath,
three carrier gone out to sea.
Not one, not two — mi count it three,
grey like di smoke off a tyre.
Talking Tuesday, sailing Friday.
Mi pencil point nearly done.
Three hundred times him say it
Three hundred times him say it
Three hundred times him say it
An di ship dem still a float
Las ting di newsman read out plain:
no war before November.
One promise, one date pon di calendar,
di transistor pon di amp
a shake pon di top shelf of forty-five.
Mi nuh raise mi voice.
[Toast: spoken over the groove]
Right — three hundred, three, an one.
One promise, three carrier, three hundred time di mout move.
Three carrier, three hundred word, one date.
Hear me now: one date, three ship, three hundred.
Same three figure, mi shuffle dem like domino pon di table.
Dem nuh change. Mi count dem over fi mi own self.
Three hundred. Three. One.
Mout over here. Steel over dere.
Radio seh twenty-two ship inna di strait.
Three hundred. Three. One.
Three hundred times him say it
Three hundred times him say it
Three hundred times him say it
An di ship dem still a float
Mi lay di pencil down pon di sleeve
