  • (Who-oo-oo-oo is Mr Brown?)
    Mr Brown is a clown who rides through town in a coffin
    (Where he be found?)
    In the coffin where there is
    Three crows on top and two is laughing
    Oh, what a confusion! Ooh, yeah, yeah!
    What a botheration! Ooh, now, now!

    Who is Mr Brown? I wanna know now!
    He is nowhere to be found
    From Mandeville to Slygoville, coffin runnin' around,
    Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,
    Asking for Mr Brown
    From Mandeville to Slygoville, coffin runnin' around,
    Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,
    Asking for Mr Brown
    I wanna 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 - oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    The thing get 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't tell you where he's from now
    From Mandeville to Slygoville, coffin runnin' around,
    Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,
    Asking for Mr Brown
    From Mandeville to Slygoville
