BUT This song inspired me to stay in school and finished my education because I came to the conclusion that at 13 years old that I had learnt everything that I needed to learn to survive in life. At age 13, I decided on who my wife should be and I stuck to that. I decided that all my children would be from the same woman e tc. so 13 was an important age for me. That song was introduced to me by both my parents and I have never ever forgotten that song. I do not have a copy of the song but I have preached the message to many others. This song inspired me to write a song called---TRIBUTE TO SCHOOL TEACHERS----and I REMAIN FOREVER GRATEFUL to the Mighty Mighty Sparrow and the power of calypso.-- I missed this thread earlier.

You need more than education to be a well rounded person but but it is essential to have it if you want to earn better than average pay. I'm trying to tell my 13 year old step-daughter that the next 5 years of her schooling will determine alot in her later stages of life. All she likes to do is watch TV. I hope she heeds my warning. Hell I'm degree educated and I am still finding it tough. Sparrow’s lyrics do stand the test of time.
