Once I first heard the sound of ska   Then my feet began to move   My legs and arms got a life of their own   To this beat they can’t refuse      I’m telling you   Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady   Ska, rockstedy the jamaican way   Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady   Music the jamaican way      Once bitten and twice as shy   But this beat I can’t deny   This fly is here to stay   Now give me ska the jamaican way      I’m begging you   Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady   Ska, rockstedy the jamaican way   Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady   Music the jamaican way      Third time and I knew I was lost   And now I’m ska’d for life no matter what the cost   Ska music for a better day   Now give it to me the jamaican way      I’m telling you   Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady   Ska, rockstedy the jamaican way   Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady   Music the jamaican way      I’m begging you   Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady   Ska, rockstedy the jamaican way      Ska, rocksteady, ska, rocksteady   Music the jamaican way      I’m telling you, yeah   I’m begging you, yeah   I’m telling you, yeah   I’m begging you, music the jamaican way
