Rasta Ozzy from up the hill
Decides to check on him grocery bill
When him add up the things him need
He do when he done see if he buy a little weed
Him hoping in Jah lord (trusting in god)
Ready I am just meditate
The time is so hard lord
I might have to think about emigrate
I make up me mind lord 
Might as well go and (de)cide my fate
So of over the market
I sight the butcher boy by the gate


Chorus
You want goat?
No I might take a kilo queen
Try beef now
I no check now if the grass were green
What about fowl
What a I know is fancy a change
Maybe fish
Got children aren’t all that rich
What about steak
What you know, you no sight me rich
How about tripe
Burn me belly when I pull me pipe
Well how about pork
Hush your mouth man, me brethren hear
Sell I a pound of dat thing there

Then the butcher pull up a stool
Begin the question as how  him so fool
What kind of something cook in a pot
From him  bali never did hear about that
well what ya know master
Given time I’ll try and explain
its just like a flim show
to protect the humble we change the name
I would have feel so cute 
…………………………fat
I know I’ll feel safer if we change the subject and call it Dat



Ozzy pay off the butchers bill
Take the parcel and trod up the hill
Like a spy to you think him meet
Rasta Jeremiah from down the street
guidance me brethren
Is what you have there in that a there bag?
Him kinda get frighten 
And begin to hide it beneath him rag
That man don’t get high lord
If we go on the yard and take a sat
Meanwhile light a fire I while help you
Heat up the pound I got

This is my attempt. There are still a few things wrong but I think we're getting closer.

Rasta Ozzy from up the hill
Decide fi check ‘pon him grocery bill
When him add up de t’ings him need
De dunny done when him see fi buy little weed
Him hand ‘pon him jaw, lord 
Ready I am just meditate
The time is so hard lord
I man a t’ink ‘bout emigrate
I make up me mind lord 
I might as well go and sign my fate
So I forward a market
I sight the butcher boy by the gate


Chorus
You want goat?
No I might-a kill I queen
Try beef nuh
I no check fi no grass weh green
What about fowl
What’cha know is time fi have change
Me have fish
Got children out a dat range
How 'bout de steak?
What’cha know, you no sight me rich
How about tripe
Bu’n me belly when I pull me pipe
Well how about pork
Hush your mouth man, me brethren hear
Sell I a pound of dat t’ing there

Then de butcher pull up a stool
Begin fi question Ozzy how him so fool
What kind a sump’in cook in a pot
From him bawl him never did hear ‘bout dat
Well what’cha know master
He buy time mek’a try explain
Its just like a flim show
Fi protect the humble we change the name
I would have feel so cute 
Fi come in and ask we some .......fat (presumably a slang word for ganga)
I and I feel safer if we change the subject and call it Dat

Ozzy pay off de butcher bill
Tek de parcel and trod up the hill
Like a spy who do you t’ink him meet?
Rasta Jeremiah from down the street
Guidance me brethren

Him kinda get frighten 
And begin fi hide it beneath him rag
That man don’t get high lord
Mek we go on the yard and take a sat
Meanwhile light a fire
