Grinding Massala (1947):
Singer: Killer
(Sung by Peter Pitts)
This is very true
ah decide this year to marry a Hindu
so is Hundreds of Indians gather
Yes indeed up in Marabella
Man, Pooran get crazy
When they start wid dis sweet melody
Sing jaago shilaam, jaago jaago shilaam
Updika dingaka dangaika dum
Things now gettin sweet
They bring ah set ah dhalbaat for me to eat
Lahd! Is pepper like fire
Ah cyan stan de burnin ah bawlin for water
So big belly Ramlal
Come wid a coolie drum and a dhantal
Singin, everytime ah passin gyal
Yuh grindin massala..
Everytime ah passin gyal yuh grindin' massala
Grindin' massala, grindin' massala,
An everytime a passin well she grindin' massala
Ah cyan get a chance
