Mi na koniman Anansi. 20 Surinaamse kinderliedjes van het Srio kinderkoor

[p. 23]

Busy street

Gentleman, I want to ask you if you can
save a little time and lend a helping hand
I want to cross the street
I'm trembling on my feet
So help me get over if you can

Well, my little lady, though it's not my style
I'd like to give this little job a little try
So let me take a stand
and take you by the hand
and lead you to the other side

Well, oh well, oh well, oh what a busy street
What a hopsy, topsy, turvy all around
Looking at the cars, and all the passers-by,
the cabs and the buses and the bikes

Thank you very much, you have been much too kind
Gentlemen like you are these days hard to find
I do appreciate the kindness that you gave
to guide a helpless lady cross the street
Gentlemen like you are these days hard to find
I do appreciate the kindness that you gave
to guide a helpless lady cross the Street

Well, oh well, etc.

You don't have to thank me lady, not at all
Have a cup of coffee with me at Aunty's Mall
And later we might see a movie on TV
And maybe you want to have a dance with me
