Pinda Cake

De pinda cake lady comin’ down,
With her basket an’ glass case she comin’ to town,
She stop by the school gate and set up her stall,
An’ while she a-set up hear de ole lady bawl

Pinda! Pinda cake!
Pinda! Pinda cake!
Gal an’ bwoy me jus’ done bake
Come and buy yuh lovely pinda cake!

She have grater cake an’ she have duckunoo,
Coconut drops an’ bulla cake too,
Jackass corn an’ plantain tart,
But the t’ing dat dearest to me heart

Pinda! Pinda cake!
Pinda! Pinda cake!
Gal an’ bwoy me jus’ done bake
Come and buy yuh lovely pinda cake!

We all crowd round her an’ yuh can tell
By de look o’ de cake dem, an’ de spicy smell
Dat they won’t stay in de glass case fe too long
As we buy from de lady, we join in de song

Pinda! Pinda cake!
Pinda! Pinda cake!
Gal an’ bwoy me jus’ done bake
Come and buy yuh lovely pinda cake!
