this tune - first of all, a long time ago i had a different version. it was definitely the maytones, the voices are pretty distinctive. anyone know where i can find the other version?

second Q - the lyrics i think are kind of strange. is he saying something like "hairy woman" ? or am i mishearing?

advice appreciated.
