Jamaica
(Scat singing)
When the bubbles are all gone
The oil will be hot enough
To fry the dasheen
Since it grown too dark to see
I must listen for the sound of the water crackling
As it evaporates
Since its grown too dark to see
In this way
My ears are a dance to a many voiced chorus
Of liquid
That catch them in an exquisite
Dip in and then in dough
