Intro

Me and meh dahlin went partying
Whole night we pumping and we jumping
Me and me dahlin went partying
Whole night we pumping and we jumping
Reach home de morning, after drinking
Up in de kitchen, belly grumbling
To ease de grumbling, she give me saltfish and pumpkin, two fat dumpling
After we sweat inside de fete, you know ah eat all dat ah get

Cause yuh know ah like it

Verse 1

While lighting up ah fire she said
“Ah leave saltfish in ah pot soaking”
I say she joking
“Well I goin to make sure dat you well fed”
Meh mouth watering while she stoking
De whole kitchen smoking
All I know Is in ten minutes flat she whip up something
To see de girl put out such a spread
Really mess wit meh head

And when ah girl like dat hard to find, had to make she mine, mine
So ah wife she one time!

This track, Yuh Know Ah Like It, symbolizes the fairly recent tradition by Woodbrook-based Invaders Steel Orchestra, of performing the composition of their arranger, Arddin Herbert, as the band’s tune of choice for the annual steelband music panorama competition in Trinidad & Tobago.

Vocalized by Roland “Rembunction” Yearwood, Arddin co-composed the song with Ricardo Jones and Yearwood. This marks the third consecutive year this threesome has collaborated to produce the song which takes Invaders to “The Big Yard” aka the Panorama stage at the Queen’s Park Savannah.

Starting out in 2010 with Tell Dem, the guys got together again in 2011 for Doh Be On Dat.  Both years, the orchestra placed fourth overall in the Panorama championship.
