Al Stewart - Tonton Macoute [*] lyrics

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.
