Mr. Brown Lyrics

[Bridge]
Oh, calling duppy conqueror
I'm the ghost catcher
This is your chance
Oh, big, big Bill bull-bucka
Take your chance
Prove yourself, oh yeah


[Verse 4]
Down in parade
People running like a masquerade

The police make a raid
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, think it fade

[Verse 5]
What a thing in town
Crows, chauffeur-driven around
Skanking as if they had never known
The man they call Mr. Brown
I can tell you where he's from now

[Outro]
From Mandeville to Sligoville
Coffin runnin' around
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town
Asking for Mr. Brown...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
