Double Dutch Lyrics

Malcom McLaren - Double Dutch

...all over the world high school girls
Take to the ropes and turn them slow...

...starts a beat and a loop
They skip and jump thru the hoop
They might break and they might fall
About the gals from New York City don't

They just start again
..start again...

Hey... ebo...ebonettes !

Hey..ebo...ebo - ebonettes
Hey..ebo...ebo - ebonettes
Hey..ebo...ebo - ebonettes
Hey..ebo...ebo - ebonettes

Hmm..
The golden angels
The ford green angels

The five town diamond skippers
The pleasure of rope rippers

Those dark and lovely skippers
Those five town diamond skippers

...skip they do's the double dutch
That's them dancing...

Skip they do's the double dutch
... that's them dancing!
Skip they do's the double dutch
...that's them dancing!
Skip they do's the double dutch
...that's them dancing!

Swing those ropes round and around
...all the teams change your partners now...

Sommersault thru the hoop
Leap to beat the clicks
That keep on coming
Heh,watch your feet
To win the double dutch - stay jumping !!

Hey... ebo... ebonettes !

Hey..ebo...ebo - ebonettes
Hey..ebo...ebo - ebonettes
Hey..ebo...ebo - ebonettes
Hey..ebo...ebo - ebonettes

Aah,
The mighty motion skippers
The pleasure of rope rippers

Aah
The dark and lovely skippers
Aah,
Mighty motion skippers.

The skip they do's the double dutch
That's them dancing...

Skip they do's the double dutch
... that's them dancing!
Skip they do's the double dutch
...that's them dancing!
Skip they do's the double dutch
...that's them dancing!

Heh girls..
How many skips can you do ?
