Tonton Macoute Lyrics

Come on to Haiti, you don't need a treaty
Papa Doc will do you OK
Tonton in the sun, he's polishing his gun
You'd better just stay out of his way

If you turn a critical eye
He'll drill you through the middle and cry

It's just Tonton
It's just Tonton
It's just Tonton
Just Tonton Macoute

Idi Amin Dada slowly going gaga
Some say it's the yaya decay
Country's going broker but Idi he's a joker
You'd better just stay out of his way

Anything you say that's not right
You're floating in the river at night

It's just Tonton
It's just Tonton
It's just Tonton
Just Tonton Macoute

Papa had the voodoo to bring you down and cool you
Idi learned the lesson OK
From Nero to Stalin Froward to Mussolini
They've always had to have it their way

But you can't make political pie
With such an hypocritical lie

It's just Tonton
It's just Tonton
It's just Tonton
Just Tonton Macoute

It's just Tonton Macoute
