(Ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)
(It's Mr Brown)
Mr Brown is a clown who rides to town in a coffin
(Well, here he comes)
In the top is...three rows on top and two inside there
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 slide-a-ville,
coffin runnin' around,
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,
Asking for Mr Brown.
From Mandeville to slide-a-ville,
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 people - oh,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah - they think it 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 tell you where he's from now:
From Mandeville to slide-a-ville,
coffin runnin' around,
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,
Asking for Mr Brown.
From Mandeville to slide-a-ville
