Lyrics
Lorna –
Mista Paper, Senator Pullman he just call
He ask how come ya don’t need no watah
Norman –
Don’t need water?
Lorna –
Well, you let the barge go by
He comin’ to talk to you
Norman –
Who is Senator Pullman anyway?
Why do I have to signal the barge?
Iris –
Welcome to the Caribbean
Put on a shirt at least
The big enchilada is on his way
Senator Pullman –
Mr. Norman Paperman, I presume?
Joinin’ us in Kinja for de tourist boom?
Norman –
Norman Paperman at your service
Meeting the kingpin, I’m slightly nervous
Pullman –
Mr. Paperman, I here to be your friend
But there’s just certain rules here we can not bend
Paperman –
How about the water? My cistern’s flat
Pullman –
Why sure, I come to take care of dat
But, you gotta play by Kinja rules
Forget about da tings you learned in school
We use a different box of tools
And you gotta play by Kinja rules
Pullman –
Now dis alien ain’t bonded for no gondolier
He’s bonded for gardener,
Dat why he here
De Chief of Immigration a power in dis town
Chief find out-your hotel close down
Paperman –
Hereafter gardening’s all he’ll do
I didn’t know, I swear to you
Pullman –
Doan’ hoross yourself, it’s okay mister
De Chief of Immigration, she’s my sister
But you gotta play by Kinja rules
Forget about that civics course you learned in school
We ain’t city folks, but we ain’t fools
And you gotta play by Kinja rules
Pullman –
Stop!
Paperman –
How about my water?
Pullman –
Hold you hosses I come to dat
Look at da chambermaid, she mighty fat
And if dat alien have her baby here
Dat baby American, free and clear
De Secretary of Interior, he gonna rave
And dat baby on your record
From da cradle to da grave
Your responsibility, I don’t mean maybe
Da bottom line sir, dat your baby
You gotta play by Kinja rules
Forget about da tings you learned in school
We use a simple box of tools
And you gotta play by Kinja rules
Paperman –
I’ll send her away, but this club’s bone dry
Pullman –
No problem, lots of watah you can buy
Paperman –
Buy water, Senator? That’s your advice?
Pullman –
Chief of Public Works give you a special price
Paperman –
Chief of public works,
Who’s he, your brother?
Pullman –
Ha ha, not bad she’s Lorna’s mother
So you gotta play by Kinja rules
Forget about da tings you learned in school
We use a different box of tools
And you gotta play by Kinja rules
Paperman –
Senator, I thank you
Now one thing’s clear
I’ve got to hire a Kinjan gondolier
Pullman –
Now dat a problem
Paperman –
What’s the reason
Pullman –
No unemployment, it’s high season
Can’t hire no Kinjan to wear dis hat
Paperman –
And I can’t use an alien?
Pullman –
Ah don’t ask dat
Paperman –
You’ve been a great help sir
You’ve got my vote
Just tell me, who’s going to row that boat?
Pullman –
Youuuu gotta play by Kinja rules
Forget about da tings you learned in school
Just take it easy, play it cool
But be sure to
Paperman joins Pullman –
Play by Kinja rules
You gotta play by Kinja rules
Forget about that civics course you learned in school
God watches out for drunks and fools
But forget the Ten Commandments here
Kinja rules Kinja rules Kinja rules Kinja rules
Pullman –
Norman Paperman, I feel you soon adjust to Kinja
