Artist/Band: M.I.A.
Lyrics for Song: Mango Pickle Down River
Lyrics for Album: Kala [2007]



When it's really hot we go to the river and swim

When we're going fishing we're catching the bream

When the river's high we jump off the bridge

And when we get home we play some didge

When it's really hot we go to the river and swim

When we're going fishing we're catching the bream

When the river's high we jump off the bridge

And when we get home we play some didge



They call me Wally, this is where I'm at

I wear my NRL baseball cap

Parramatta's my team if you know what I mean

To be the captain, that's my dream



My name is Keith from Wilcannia Street

I walk on stilts to read the beat

When it crawls out I shake a leg

This is my rhyme and that's what I said



First of all I wanna say

I don't even know why you act that way

My name is Maya and people always say

I act kinda strange like a dooba weh

I like fish and mango pickle

When I climb trees them feet them tickle

I'm broke this month didn't pay rent

I had to jump town and my money's all spent



When it's really hot we go to the river and swim

When we're going fishing we're catching the bream

When the river's high we jump off the bridge

And when we get home we play some didge

When it's really hot we go to the river and swim

When we're going fishing we're catching the bream

When the river's high we jump off the bridge

And when we get home we play some didge



Well Colroy's here, have no fear

All you old pigs better watch out for this bit

And I'm here at the game and I'm almost ten

I wanna be an actor like Jackie Chan



Lendal is my name, I like to do back flips

Listen to the words that come from my lips

Jump off the bridge and I'll play the didge

And when I catch a fish, I put it in the fridge



My name is Buddy, I can't stand still

Wilcannia to Dubbo to Broken Hill

I've been moving around from town to town

And this is how I get down



Rode the BMX when we walked through the bush

The boys fight to ride it, but I just let 'em push

Keith stole an egg from a little coo coo

Kept it safe in his mouth while he danced jookoo jookoo

There's only one ocean that got fish left

One day we'll have to be a really good chef

And I don't mean us in the bush making meth

Boys, if you catch meth you catch your death

When I said that Keith sneezed and had a chick

Broke the little egg in his mouth in little bits



When it's really hot we go to the river and swim

When we're going fishing we're catching the bream

When the river's high we jump off the bridge

And when we get home we play some didge

When it's really hot we go to the river and swim

When we're going fishing we're catching the bream

When the river's high we jump off the bridge

And when we get home we play some didge

When it's really hot we go to the river and swim

When we're going fishing we're catching the bream

When the river's high we jump off the bridge

And when we get home we play some didge
