Album: Big Daddy Multitude
One! Get off your seat!
Two! Stomp your boots to the beat!
Three! Throw your knees in the air!
Four! Like you don't care!
We don't want to see you slammin' in the pit, NO!
We don't want to see our girlfriends kicked, NO!
We just want to see you movin' faster and faster
To the beat of the super ska master
Phonys like to slam to the beat of ska
We're not against that, but for us there's more
To dance with us you needn't act like a jerk
Skankin's meant for fun, not for getting hurt!
Skankin' by numbers every night and day
Skankin' by numbers is the only way
Get off your seat and take a chance
Skankin' by numbers is the only way to dance!
You can shave your head or pierce your nose, NOSE!
Dress up in flannels or rudeboy clothes, CLOTHES!
But where it matters is with your shoes
That's where ska's for your stylin' moves
Skankin' aint just dancing it's our way of life
Away from trouble, away from strife
Afraid of fun? Then you had better beware
Because on the dance floor, we don't have a care!
Time to hit the floor, do it soon, SOON!
Ska music's set to fill the room, ROOM!
Have never skanked? Well it's time to start!
Soon you will be a rudeboy hot!
Finally we'd like to stop and thank our roots
Respect the Specials, Maytals, and Toots!
Wailing Wailers, Laurel Aitken, and (English) Beat,
But most of all the Skatalites, they're music complete!
