My Grandaddy Could Reggae Songtext

von Linda Lewis

(Linda Lewis)

Wax it

Before the radio, day-o
Black boy drum with blue beat
All the way back home
He reggae with his wife
He reggae all his life
He reggae to the club
And he reggae in the tub

(ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) ska ra
(ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) down in flamingo
(ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) down in juke club
(ska-a, ska-a-a)
(ska-a, ska-a-a)

Before the rock 'n' roll
Brown skin boy can boogie
Like you never know
I show my man his stuff
He just can't get enough
If you want to reggae right,
All you do is squeeze her tight

(ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) ska ra
(ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) ska-a-a-a-a
(ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) ska ra
(ska-a, ska-a-a) ska ra, ra, ra
(ska-a, ska-a-a)

And you Caribbean kings and queens
And pale-ish people, too
Will understand me when I say
Reggae is good for you, ooh
It's good for you

Before the hi, hi-fi
Before it was a twinkle
In your mommy's eye
It ain't no mystery
My mama, she sing to me
It's a rhythm in your heart
Makes you feel good from the start
Start now with the ska ra
Ska ra, ra, ra

(ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a)
(ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a)
(ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) to ska ra
Do do do do do do do
(ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) you can do it, too
(ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) ska ra
(ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) just let it ska ra
Cha cha cha cha cha, ska ra
(ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a)
