Come On

Come on everybody stand up let us move your feet and dance to that beat

Once upon a time it happened in Jamaica 40 years ago
when Carolina was a little girl

Sound systems, dance halls, nutty sounds and lucky girls
Let's boogie to the guns of Al Capone

You will skank around, when you hear this nutty sound
Jamaica brought it to the whole wide world

All this great musicians created this sound
they played it with mood and with swing, they made it their very own thing

Ska music came to live Rocksteady through Jamaican nights
we danced along until the morning light
When Carolina was a little girl you heard it all over shanty town
