Slinger FranciscoORTTCMTOBE (born July 9, 1935), better known as Mighty Sparrow, is a calypsosinger, songwriter, and guitarist of Trinidadian citizenship. Known as the "Calypso King of the World", he is one of the best-known and most successful calypsonians. He has won Trinidad's Carnival Road March competition eight times, Calypso King/Monarch eight times, and has twice won the Calypso King of Kings title.
Career
Slinger Francisco was born in the fishing village of Grand Roy, Grenada, West Indies on July 9, 1935. He moved to Trinidad with his mother, his father having relocated there in 1937. He grew up in Port of Spain. He began singing as a small child, but his love of calypso was discouraged while at Newtown Boys Catholic School, where he sang in the choir. At the age of 14 he joined a steel band comprising neighbourhood boys, and performed with the band at Carnival.
He received his performing name "Little Sparrow" during his early career, as a result of his energetic stage performances:
The song was directed to the "Rude Boys" of the ghettos of Jamaica at the time, sending them a message to cool down or "Simmer Down" with all the violence and crime going on in Kingston. The subject matter of "Simmer Down" made The Wailers stand out amongst their contemporaries. The Wailers at this time contained Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh, Junior Braithwaite, Cherry Smith and Beverley Kelso. It was Bob Marley's first hit and his career as a song writer and performer took off from there.
Although "Simmer Down" was a hit, Peter Tosh, one of the three original Wailers, has said in an interview that he hated it.

Simmer down lemme nurture the backside
It’s so important to me
She do me many sexual favours

I never need no funding (never need that)
I get cash in abundance, I got cash in abundance (cash flow)
Ah ah

Everybody calling me friend now, sorry friend you’re a chancer
Soon as I win they call me, women they on me (brrp brrp)

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Simmer down lemme nurture the backside
It’s so important to me
She do me many sexual favours
I fell in love with the cake
Don’t ya know I’m a five star youngfella? (ooh)
Hit the floor and get funky (hit the floor)
I never need no funding (never need that)
I get cash in abundance, I got cash in abundance (cash flow)
Ah ah
Big mula mantra (big mula baby)
Everybody calling me friend now, sorry friend you’re a chancer
Soon as I win they call me, women they on me (brrp brrp)
But they just gon’ betray me, so fucking get off me (get off)
Ah ah
I dicked her down she want seconds (ooh)
Sorry love I been meaning to tell ya, ya fell in love with a menace
Call me number on any occasion, we can make an arrangement
Babygirl you’re the one that I need, I been waiting for ages
Chorus x2
Hands up and c’mon get with it (get with it, get with it)
Pump the brakes I’m not finished (I’ll bring ya home in a minute)
Shake the hips and the back door, shake the hips and the back door
Anymore lip and you’ve got to go (go, go, go)
Verse 2
Simmer down lemme nurture the backside
It’s so important to me
She do me many sexual favours
I fell in love with the disco disco, unts unts (disco disco)
I fell in love with the disco disco, unts unts (hit the floor, get funky, flick that)
Pump it, hand full of bumbles, I got the party jumping
Enter the place and pump it, hit the floor and get funky
Disco disco disco disco (giddyup)
I forgot her name but big fake rack is the number she saved under
Looks good with her makeup on, ya don’t wanna see her with her makeup off
Oh baby
That MUA’s working miracles
Baby meet me on the dancefloor
Ain’t got no time for no slumber
She called me every name under the sun except for babe and daddy
I don’t wan’ end up a baby daddy, dunno bout you I’m a hustler
(You in da lobby)
She took it back to the hotel
There ain’t no way I can go to bed with you, you got no funds for that
I get paid for that
Male jigalo no shame in that
Money packed up in a paper bag
Okay lemme see, ya can’t leave until I count my stack
Bridge
(Hands up and c’mon get with it)
From the front, to the front, to the back x5

Slinger FranciscoORTTCMTOBE (born July 9, 1935), better known as Mighty Sparrow, is a calypsosinger, songwriter, and guitarist of Trinidadian citizenship. Known as the "Calypso King of the World", he is one of the best-known and most successful calypsonians. He has won Trinidad's Carnival Road March competition eight times, Calypso King/Monarch eight times, and has twice won the Calypso King of Kings title.
Career
Slinger Francisco was born in the fishing village of Grand Roy, Grenada, West Indies on July 9, 1935. He moved to Trinidad with his mother, his father having relocated there in 1937. He grew up in Port of Spain. He began singing as a small child, but his love of calypso was discouraged while at Newtown Boys Catholic School, where he sang in the choir. At the age of 14 he joined a steel band comprising neighbourhood boys, and performed with the band at Carnival.
He received his performing name "Little Sparrow" during his early career, as a result of his energetic stage performances:

Refrain: Tell me you think I'm sweeter than honey, Tell me if I ever leave you you'll kill me. Scratch up me back bite off me ears when I ask "Whats the matter?" Tell me there's too much wood in the fire. (Promise me) Promise me everything you wish (Promise me) Give me in french or in spanish (Promise me) Say something good or something bad (Promise me) As long as I make you talk I'm glad Doobdidoob doodeeyah Our little love talk has turned me on I could carry on from dusk till dawn As long as I hear your sexy conversation. Refrain (Do you need) Mama rev up your engine (Do you need) Give vent to your feelings (Do you need) Honey bunch now some at all (Do you need) Shame to the must get on and fall I want a nice little mournful cry Like uhoo, uhoo, uhoo, uhoo
