I WAS WALKIN' DOWN THE STREET, |
|
CONCENTRATIN' ON TRUCKIN' RIGHT, |
|
I HEARD A DARK VOICE BESIDE OF ME, |
|
AND I LOOKED 'ROUND IN A STATE OF FRIGHT, |
|
I saw four faces one mad a brother from the gutter, |
|
They looked me up and down a bit and turned to each other, |
|
(I say) I don't like cricket-A OH NO I love it-A Yeah, |
|
I don't like cricket-A NO NO I love it-A Yeah, |
|
Don't you walk through my words you got to show some respect, |
|
Don't you walk through my words 'cause you ain't heard me out yet, |
|
WELL HE LOOKED DOWN AT MY SILVER CHAIN, |
|
HE SAID "I'LL GIVE YOU ONE DOLLAR", |
|
I SAID "YOU'VE GOT TO BE JOKING MAN, |
|
IT WAS A PRESENT FROM ME MOTHER", |
|
He said "I like it I wan' it I'll take it off your hands, |
|
An' you'll be sorry you'd crossed me, |
|
You'd better understand that you're a long, a long way from home", |
|
(and I say) I don't like reggae-A NO NO I love it-A HEY, |
|
I don't like reggae-A Yeah Yeah I love it-A Oh Yeah, |
|
Don't you cramp me style don't you queer me pitch, |
|
Don't you walk through my words 'cause you, |
|
Ain't heard me out yet, |
|
I HURRIED BACK TO THE SWIMMING POOL, |
|
SINKIN' PINA COLADA, |
|
I HEARD A DARK VOICE BESIDE ME SAY, |
|
"would you like something hotter", |
|
She said "I've got you wan' it my harvest is the best, |
|
And if you try it you'll like it and wallow in the, |
|
Dreadlock holiday, dreadlock holiday, dreadlock holiday", |
|
(and I say) don't like jamaica OH NO I love her HEY, |
|
Don't like jamaica OH NO I love her OH YEH, |
|
Don't you walk through my words you got to show some respect, |
|
Don't you walk through my words 'cause you ain't heard me out yet, |
|
I don't like cricket-A OH NO I love it-A dreadlock holiday, |
|
I don't like reggae-A OH NO I love it-A dreadlock holiday, |
|
Don't like jamaica HEY I love her dreadlock holiday, |
|
I don't like cricket-A OH NO I love it-A dreadlock holiday, |
|
