Whole peas and rice is very nice upon a rainy day
But when yuh go to out de fyah
De sparkles dem will burn yah
Not a spoon upon the table
Not a bowl upon de table
Now a towel to wipe my face
Gal, ah gwine to lick up yuh dimanteen
Chorus
Oh dimanteen, oh dimanteen lah,
Dimanteen, oh diamanteen lah,
Gal, ah gwine to lick up yah dimanteen
Gal, ah gwine to lick up yah dimanteen
