♪♫ Who-oo-oo-oo is Mr Brown? ♪♫ ♪♫
Mr Brown is a clown who rides through town in a coffin
(Where he be found? )
In the coffin where there is three crows on top and two is laughing
Oh, what a confusion! Ooh, yeah, yeah!
What a botheration! Ooh, now, now!
Who is Mr Brown? I wanna know now! He is nowhere to be found…
From Mandeville to Slygoville, coffin runnin’ around,
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town, asking for Mr Brown
From Mandeville to Slygoville, coffin runnin’ around,
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,
Asking for Mr Brown
I wanna know who – is Mr Brown?
Is Mr Brown controlled by remote?
O-o-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!
Down in parade, people runnin like a masquerade
The police make a raid,
But the (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) the thing get fade
What a thing in town – crows chauffeur-driven around,
Skankin’ as if they had never known the man they call “Mr Brown”
I can’t tell you where he’s from now
From Mandeville to Slygoville, coffin runnin’ around,
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,
Asking for Mr Brown
From Mandeville to Slygoville
