Mash in Guyana
Lyrics by Rudy Grant

Mash in Guyana, people going crazy
Moving left to right, and shaking up their bodies

Let me tell you people what Mash is about
Can’t you see the people jumping up in South
Listen to steel bands playing in the streets
Can’t you see the children marching to the beat

Mash in Guyana, people going crazy
Moving left to right, and shaking up their bodies

Let me tell you bannas, the binis look so slick
Look at all those biopsies, holding up these chicks
Eating fish and chicken from women at d stalls
Ten thousand people jamming down Mash Hall

Mash in Guyana, people going crazy
Moving left to right, and shaking up their bodies
(Instrumental)
Mash in Guyana, people going crazy
Moving left to right, and shaking up their bodies

Hear the music blasting for miles and miles around
Don’t you know it’s the radio and Pancho’s back in town
Heard GDF playing a sweet, sweet melody
The rum in me left hand and me girlfriend next to me

Mash in Guyana, people going crazy
Moving left to right, and shaking up their bodies
Mash in Guyana, people going crazy
Moving left to right, and shaking up their bodies

(Instrumental)
Hear the music blasting for miles and miles around
Don’t you know it’s the radio and Pancho’s back in town
Heard GDF playing a sweet, sweet melody
The rum in me left hand and me girlfriend next to me

Mash in Guyana, people going crazy
Moving left to right, and shaking up their bodies
