[verse 1]
people want to know why jamaica run
from the federation
well they want to know why jamaica run away
from the federation
jamaica have a right to speak she mind
that is my opinion
and if you believe in democracy
you’ll agree with me

[chorus]
but if they know they didn’t want federation
and they know they don’t want to unite as one
independence was at the door
why didn’t they speak before
this is no time to say you ain’t federating no more!

[verse 2]
when they didn’t get the capital site
that nearly cause big fight
when sir grandley adams took up his post
that even made things worse
they bawling, “we ain’t want no bajan premier
trinidad can’t be capital for here!”
so the grumbling went on and on
to a big referendum
[chorus]
but if they know they didn’t want federation
and they know they don’t want to unite as one and only one
i say to tell the doctor you’re not in favor
don’t behave like a blasted traitor
how the devil you mean you ain’t federating no more!

[verse 3]
sorry but no federation again
i think it’s a big shame
after so much efforts and energy
put by everybody
right now it’s only a memory
we failed miserably
some may say we shouldn’t have parted
but it’s jamaica who started

[chorus]
if they know they didn’t want federation
and they know they don’t want to unite as one
just tell the doctor you’re not in favor
don’t behave like a blasted traitor
this is no time to say you ain’t federating no more!

[verse 4]
federation boil down to simply this:
it’s dog eat dog and survival of the fittest
everybody fighting for independence
singularly trinidad for instance
we going get it too so don’t bother
but i find we should all be together
not separated as we are
because of jamaica
[chorus]
if they know they didn’t want federation
and they know they don’t want to unite as one
tell the doctor!
tell the doctor you’re not in favor
don’t behave like a blasted traitor
how the devil you mean you ain’t federating no more!

outside, man!
