Murder She Wrote (feat. Sly & Robbie)

Now, this one dedicated to the girls them with the angel face and the devil heart

You know say Ragamuffin Chaka Demus and youth called Pliers

Come to deal with the case

Step up my youth, hear this!

I know this little girl, her name is Maxine

Her beauty is like a bunch of rose

Don't ya know

If I ever tell you about Maxine

You only say I don't know what I know, but

Murder she wrote

For real, for real

But your character dirty

Girl, you just act too flirty-flirty

You run to Tom, Dick, and also Harry

And when you find your mistake

You talk 'bout you're sorry, sorry, sorry, come now!

Have her cruise the corner where she jooks and where she jam

She know about Lou, Crack and every money man

Make love with a coolie, Chinese, white man and Indian

The wickedest kind a girl that Mr. Pliers buk upon

Her beauty's like a bunch of rose

And if I ever tell you about Maxine

And when you hear the Ragamuffin
