[Intro: Prince Markie Dee]



Man,  all these problems in our world today

I just don't know what to do,  man



[Verse One: Prince Markie Dee]



If it ain't one thing,  it's another

Sell a million copies?  They put me on a magazine cover

I sell one or two,  they claim that I'm played out

My girl nags me at home,  so,  I shoulda stayed out

I buy a new car,  it runs out of gas

In school,  I was always gettin' kicked out of class

Mom would say,  "Be like your older brother!"

If it ain't one thing it's another



[Talk: Prince Markie Dee]



You know what I'm sayin' man?  

I mean,  all these problems

Let me tell ya `bout the time when I - Well,  let me break it down for ya



[Verse Two:] Prince Markie Dee



Picked up my date at eight in a happy mood

Drove to City Island for some seafood

$3.99 for all you can eat

Shrimp galore,  bon apetit

We ate hearty `till we couldn't eat

Went to the Marriott,  paid for a suite

She was anxious even more that me

And,  man,  I got busy as a bumblebee

When we were done,  I drove her home

Proceeded to my house,  all alone

It started rainin',  I was playin' Bobby Brown

I missed my exit,  so,  I circled around

And that's when it happened,  I didn't get far

A pole jumped in front of my car

I broke my leg,  man,  do I stutter?

If it ain't one thing,  it's anuddah,  bruddah



[Verse Three:] Kool Rock Ski



On tour for so long that it wears me down

I've been to every city and every small town

And,  after a while,  things start to ache

I want my body to move,  that d-mn thing won't shake

Then,  one night,  the last date on tour

From that morning my throat was sore

I started gettin' worried,  it wound't be long

`Cause the way my throat was hurtin',  it would soon be gone

Then,  wouldn't you know?  You know it,  yes

I tried to say somthin' but I was voiceless

Showtime came,  I had to lip-synch

It got so wild that I couldn't think

The show was done,  a doctor checked my health

I spent the night all by myself

Man,  what a bummer,  what did I stutter?

If it ain't one thing,  it's anuddah,  bruddah
