Mister Rake and Scrape

[Verse 1]
Some men, they say, they like this one
But they don't like that one
They love to play with the thin one
But, they don't like the fat one
But, not me, no siree
I cannot agree
Oh, yes a woman is a woman to me
I don't care how she ugly or not ugly

[Chorus]
I'm a busy man with no time to lose
I don't pass me hand, I don't pick and choose
So, any kind of woman, a woman with one foot or one hand
They cannot escape from me, Mr. Rake and Scrape

[Verse 2]
I don't know what this woman got and the other one ain't got too
I don't know what this one could do and the other one can do too
Study them, check them, for a moment it's the same problem
As you know every human is made of water
And every one of them have the same flesh and blood

[Chorus]
I'm a busy man with no time to lose
I don't pass me hand, I don't pick and choose
So, any kind of woman, a woman, woman with one foot or one hand
They cannot escape from me, Mr. Rake and Scrape

[Verse 3]
When a woman young, every man in town does flock around she
When she making child, they run off while they won't stop around she
They start a moan, they start a groan
Afraid people say the child is done
But, if she pass 'round me and call me better believe
She have no problem at all

[Chorus]
I'm a busy man with no time to lose
I don't pass me hand, I don't pick and choose
So, any kind of woman, hmmm-mmm, one foot or one hand
They cannot escape from me, Mr. Rake and Scrape

[Verse 4]
If a patient leaving the hospital and she have no family
All she have to do is send somebody to come and call me
I'm accepting anything
As long as your blood warm it means you're living
I have contact in the poor house, too
I passing down St. James, now, to get a few

[Chorus]
I'm a busy man with no time to lose
I don't pass me hand, I don't pick and choose
So, any kind of woman, woman, human with one foot or one hand
They cannot escape from me, Mr. Rake and Scrape

[Outro]
Yeah, hopa
Scrape 'em up, scrape 'em
Anything
Whosoever will, may come
