UB40, Pato Banton - The King Step Mk. 1 lyrics

To all the entertainers in the world
I man show nuff respect nuff respect
Cause every entertainer is select
And right ya now me a go show
You how to do the king step

Me a go show you how to
Do the king step left right
Me a go show you how to
Do the king step left right

As soon as me operator puts
The music on the deck
Is pure exciting, educating, fascinating
Pirate chanting culture preaching
Perfect timing lyrics you a go get
The whistlers blow their whistle
Big women say "kiss me neck"
Some bark "forward"
Some barl "rewind" and some shout out "eject"
While the pirates press record pon
Fe dem pocket size cassettes
The mcs that chat slack fret till
Dem armpit wet with sweat
Because they know that slackness is a
Thing I man do not respect
That's why me have to show dem how
Fe do the king step left right

Me a go show you how to
Do the king step left right
Me a go show you how to
Do the king step left right

Well before me start to go down
In a dais yak subject
Me have to praise you jab cause
You never fail I yet
Even when Satan captured me and
Bring me close to death
You offered me the truth and right
And I had to accept
But now me find you jab me
Na go keep it secret
That's why the conscious lyrics
Are my favourite subject
Me chat dem in the blues party, pub
Club and discotheque
Me chat dem in the bookie shop
While man a put on bet
And also in the gambling house
When man ready fe set
And even to bad man who
A walk wid dem ratchet
Me chat dem a ub40 studio in Digbeth

And when dem want more culture dem
A barl out "dep, dep, dep" but me tell them
Hold on lads you ain't heard nothing yet
"cause now i'm gonna show ya how to
Do the king step" left right

Me a go show you how to
Do the king step left right
Me a go show you how to
Do the king step left right

Left right it's time to walk in
The light of jab not darkness
Left right who jab bless no man curse
Who jab curse no man bless
Left right eternal life for the man
That tries his very best
Left right do bad and you'll go
Down in the pit that's bottomless
Left right Pato Banton has now
Come to preach the right
Left right left right me no partial if
Your black or if your white
Left right well now me know how
Fe do the king step
Me just can not keep it a secret
So right ya now you a get
The king step the king step the king step

Step 1, we all should know that there's
One God and only one step 2
Is give him praises for this whole creation
Step 3, is love your brother man cause
You and him is one step 4
Is not to make the same mistake as Solomon
Step 5, is to repent and beg
Forgiveness for your wrongs
Cause the wroth of jab is
Clear to see in revelation
So make up mind if you want
To go to heaven or hell step 6
Oh yes there's more the king step carries on
It carries on and on, and on, and on, and on
And on step 6, is once you know the truth
To pass the message on
And do the king step daily as
You trod upon jab land
So when the right time
Comes for Babylon's destruction
You'll be among the few to
March towards mount Zion
Left-right, left-right, left-right
Left-right
