Album: Dave Wakeling's New Songs

Dem Call It Ska

Life coming in so many levels
nothing is quite what it seems
Caught by the words that you use
to explain things _ _ _
_ _ _ who put the me in mean
Who put the burning fuse in confusion
who put the more in amore
who put the arms in armagiddeon
who put the war in Awoah!?
All this and then so much more
Well if you need a thing
to see you through the morning
A little ray of light to guide you through the night
A piece of joy to hold you till tomorrow?
Well dem call it SKA
it come from Jamaica
Now who put the ass and the lass in classic
who put the rave in grave
who put the in and the na in vagina
who put the aids in laid
who put the ho and the oom in hotel room
the key or the or in the door
who put the in and the na in vagina
who put the war in Awoah!?
All this and you still want more?
Dem call it SKA dem call it SKA
dem call it SKA and the red stripe tastes so pretty
dem call it SKA, it come from Jamaica
Now who put the burning fuse in confusion
smuggled the arms in Armagiddeon
who slipped the in and the na in vagina
the rave in grave, and the aids into laid sir?
Does this all mek you ball fe more?
Well if you need a ting to see you through the morning
a little ray of light to guide you through the night
A piece of joy to hold you till tomorrow?
Well dem call it SKA, it come from Jamaica
Dem call it SKA dem call it SKA dem call it SKA
dem call it SKA, and this one pass through Santa Monica!
