Miss Pearl set up di pan by half seven
Same spot, same corner, thirty-one year
Fry fish, festival, bammy, pepper sauce
An she nah move fi nobody, not even police
Di dance feed her an she feed di dance
Half di people come fi dance, half come fi eat
An di other half come fi stand up an talk
We never count dat as a business, but it was

She seventy-nine now, she still deh deh
Her granddaughter do di frying, she do di talking
Which is di real work anyway, always was
Di fish just a excuse fi stand up an talk
When she gone, somebody haffi set up a pan
Cyaa have a dance wid nobody by di gate
Di music bring dem, but di pan keep dem
Anybody weh nuh know dat never run a dance

Dat a half di reason people come
Fry fish by di gate
Di music free, di fish nah free
