Once I first heard the sound of ska

Then my feet began to move

My legs and arms got a life of their own

To this beat they can’t refuse



I’m telling you

Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady

Ska, rockstedy the jamaican way

Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady

Music the jamaican way



Once bitten and twice as shy

But this beat I can’t deny

This fly is here to stay

Now give me ska the jamaican way



I’m begging you

Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady

Ska, rockstedy the jamaican way

Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady

Music the jamaican way



Third time and I knew I was lost

And now I’m ska’d for life no matter what the cost

Ska music for a better day

Now give it to me the jamaican way



I’m telling you

Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady

Ska, rockstedy the jamaican way

Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady

Music the jamaican way



I’m begging you

Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady

Ska, rockstedy the jamaican way



Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady

Music the jamaican way



I’m telling you, yeah

I’m begging you, yeah

I’m telling you, yeah

I’m begging you, music the jamaican way
