You've done too much much too young
Now you're married with a kid when you could be having fun with me
Oh no, no gimme no more pickney

You've done too much much too young
Now you're married with a son when you should be having fun with me
We don't want, we don't want, we don't want no more pickney

Ain't he cute? No he ain't
He's just another burden on the welfare state

You've done too much much too young
Now you're married with a kid when you could be having fun with me
No gimme, no gimme, no gimme no more pickney

Call me immature, call me a poser
I'd love to spread manure in your bed of roses
Don't wanna be rich, don't wanna be famous
But I'd really hate to have the same name as you

You've done too much much too young
Now you're married with a kid when you could be having fun with me
Gi we de birth control, we no want no pickney

You've done too much much too young
Now you're chained to the cooker, making currant buns for tea
Oh no, no gimme no more pickney

Ain't you heard of the starving millions?
Ain't you heard of contraception?
Do you really want a program of sterilization?
Take control of the population boom
It's in your living room
Keep a generation gap
Try wearing a cap!


(Album extended-version)

You've done too much much too young
Now you're married with a kid when you could be having fun with me
Oh no, no gimme no more pickney

You've done too much much too young
Now you stay in every night watching programs on TV
We don't want, we don't want, we don't want no more pickney

You've done too much much too young
Now you're married with a son when you should be having fun with me
No gimme, no gimme, no gimme no more pickney

You've done too much much too young
Now you're chained to the cooker, making currant buns for tea
Gi we de birth control, we no want no pickney

You've done too much much too young
Now you're married to a man when you could be having fun, fun
Oh no, no gimme no more pickney

You've done too much

You've done too much much too young

You've done too much much too young
Now you're chained to the cooker, making beans on toast for tea

You've done too much much too young
Now you're married with a kid when you could be having with me
Oh no, no gimme no more pickney

You've done too much much too young
Now you stay in every night watching programs on TV

You've done too much much too young
Now you're married to a man when you could be having fun with me
We don't want, we don't want, we don't want no more pickney

You've done too much much too young
Now you're chained to the cooker, making cheese on toast for tea
No gimme, no gimme, no gimme no more pickney

You've done too much much too young
Now you're married with a kid when you could be having with me

You've done too much much too young
Now you stay in every night watching programs on TV
Oh no, no gimme no more pickney

You've done too much much too young
Now you're married with a son when you should be having with me
Oh no, no gimme no more pickney
