Tonton Macoute [*] Lyrics - 24 Carrots - Al Stewart

Come on to Haiti, you don't need a treaty 

Papa Doc will do you OK 

Tonton in the sun, he's polishing his gun 

You'd better just stay out of his way. 

If you turn a critical eye 

He'll drill you through the middle and cry 

It's just Tonton 

It's just Tonton 

It's just Tonton Macoute 

Just Tonton Macoute. 

Idi Amin Dada slowly going gaga 

Some say it's the yaya decay 

Country's going broker but Idi he's a joker 

You'd better just stay out of his way. 

Anything you say that's not right 

You're floating in the river at night 

It's just Tonton 

It's just Tonton 

It's just Tonton Macoute 

Just Tonton Macoute. 

Papa had the voodoo to bring you down and cool you 

Idi learned the lesson OK 

From Nero to Stalin, Froward to Mussolini 

They've always had to have it their way. 

But you can't make political pie 

With such an hypocritical lie 

It's just Tonton 

It's just Tonton 

It's just Tonton 

Just Tonton Macoute. 

It's just Tonton Macoute.
