Lyrics
Saltfish, it sweeter than meat yeh
It sweet it sweet it sweet
The mighty sparrow born a jab
Then moved to Trinidad
Could take him out of Grenada
But cyah take out the jab
The jab jab favorite dish
Is the saltfish
Ah First the saltfish sweet
He sing a song bout eating it
If you doh want to eat it (Ah next jab go do it)
If you doh want to eat it (Ah next jab go do it)
If you doh want to eat it (Ah next jab go do it)
Runi tell dem
Saltfish in me mouth & ah not spitting it out
You call yourself a jab (you call yourself a jab)
But you doh eat the saltfish (but you doh eat the saltfish)
How you call yourself a jab (you call yourself a jab)
But you doh eat the saltfish (but you doh eat the saltfish)
You call yourself a jab (you call yourself a jab)
But you doh eat the saltfish (but you doh eat the saltfish)
All my real jab jab (my real jab jab)
We eating up the saltfish (we eating up the saltfish)
You got to lick it, before you stick it
You got to take a taste before you knife & fork it
You got to lick it, before you stick it
You got to take a taste before you knife & fork it
Get in an argument with a guy
To the point the boy want to fight
Tell me that I encourage wrong ting and ah making dem woman bright
Down low he not going dey
Right Dey the saltfish go stay
He doh care how sweet, he not eating it
Not even when playing Jouvert
If you doh want to eat it (Ah next jab go do it)
If you doh want to eat it (Ah next jab go do it)
If you doh want to eat it (Ah next jab go do it)
Runi tell dem
Saltfish in me mouth & ah not spitting it out
You call yourself a jab (you call yourself a jab)
But you doh eat the saltfish (but you doh eat the saltfish)
How you call yourself a jab (you call yourself a jab)
But you doh eat the saltfish (but you doh eat the saltfish)
You call yourself a jab (you call yourself a jab)
But you doh eat the saltfish (but you doh eat the saltfish)
All my real jab jab (my real jab jab)
We eating up the saltfish (we eating up the saltfish)
You got to lick it, before you stick it
You got to take a taste before you knife & fork it
You got to lick it, before you stick it
You got to take a taste before you knife & fork it
You call yourself a jab (you call yourself a jab)
But you doh eat the saltfish (but you doh eat the saltfish)
How you call yourself a jab (you call yourself a jab)
But you doh eat the saltfish (but you doh eat the saltfish)
You call yourself a jab (you call yourself a jab)
But you doh eat the saltfish (but you doh eat the saltfish)
All my real jab jab (my real jab jab)
We eating up the saltfish (we eating up the saltfish)
You got to lick it, before you stick it
You got to take a taste before you knife & fork it
You got to lick it, before you stick it
You got to take a taste before you knife & fork it
