  • (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 want to 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 want to 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 Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
