Sting, Shaggy, Ding Dong - Skank Up (Oh Lawd) lyrics

Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Do the skank-up beat, yeah

Mi have a bad ras groove bumping in my jeep
We wake di whole place up
Mek nobody can't sleep
Gal, you fi shake dat ass
Get up and move your feet

We make you stop, do the skank-up beat, yeah

So, burn the dance floor out
Because the drinks on me
Let's get these cups poured up
Mi like your energy
And now I'm all fucked-up
Singing shit off-key

We make you stop, do the skank-up beat, yeah

Gal a-move, gal a-shake, gal a-whine
Gal a-bubble
Pon time, yeah, di man, dem say, "Hey"
When the music a play and di vibes set away
Lighters make noise for the dee-jay
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn
It up, bawl out, forward for di replay
Hey hey hey

Come catch the island vibe
Make you feel so free the curry goat
Well nice with some rice and peas
It's like early Christmas
Come mek we light dem trees

We make you stop, do the skank-up beat, yeah

Gal a-move, gal a-shake, gal a-whine
Gal a-bubble
Pon time, yeah, di man, dem say, "Hey"
When the music a play and di vibes set away
Lighters make noise for the dee-jay
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn
It up, bawl out, forward for di replay
Hey hey hey

When dancehall music a-play, everybody fi
