Men lies about little,

Dat spoon, dat spoon, dat ...

It could be a spoonful of coffee,
Could be a spoonful of tea,
But a little spoon of your precious love,

That spoon, dat spoon, dat ...

Saved from the deserts sand,
But one spoon of them fortifies.
Save you from another man.

Men lies about that,
Some of them cries about that,
Some of them dies about that,
Everybody fightin' about a spoonful.

That spoon, dat spoon, dat ...
