You bum right here and you
Bounce over there sponji reggae
I say you bum right here and
You bounce over there
Sponji reggae
I say you rock right here and
You rock over there sponji reggae
I say you punch right here and you
Punch over there sponji reggae
A keep trying very hard to succeed
I almost lost my reflex
My bare feet was burn
That i almost lost my nerves
My fingers are shaking as the
Day start breaking
I could a never keep it no longer
I had to tell it to one another
Chorus:
You bum right here
Some say i am nuts zooky crazy
Want i to leave the music alone
They say go and look work
I and i are lazy
But i think for a while and
Say to my self
It's a time for every style
Chorus:
I may not be a movie star
I don't drive a big fancy car
I can afford only a winchester cigar
From the day i was born and
Given life
I and i a actor genius name it
Genuine character

That and a pot of jerk chicken I live in a state where gambling and prostitution are legal and you can walk around downtown with a beer in your hand, but possession of an ounce is prison. Methinks our law enforcement people have skewed priorities. I miss the good old days.... And this song just brings it home, if for no other reason than that damned reggae beat. Someday, I'll share my story about the first time I danced in a public place to reggae music... |
