Musical a disk special requested
To all those that

As I man give it the proper procedure
With I man Welton Irie at the mic centar

I seh,  di dance have fi cock,  hey-a

Seh, dance have fi cock, hey-a

Cah, di buckle carry cock, hey-a

Banana carry stalk, hey-a, it carry stalk
Di tree carry bark, hey-a, it carry bark
Di sea carry shark, hey-a, it carry shark
Welton Irie a should talk
Hey he a should talk

'Bout how you keep a dance in a your area
Jah, mi seh
How you keep a dance in a your area


You get permission from di police inspector
Cah, little after dat you have
Fi put up your poster
But, mi seh, do not invite any loafter
You buy your ice and you buy up your liquor
You hold a you take di head and then
You make mannish water
And then you give it to
Your sons and daughter

Beca', di night before di dance
Di goat did a walk
Di night before di dance, di goat did a walk
Di day of di dance it neck cut off
Di knife weh do dat, Jah Jah know, it sharp
You go in a di walk, cut banana by di stock
You boil it in a di pot
It don't stop until it soft

Cah, di dance have fi cock, hey-a

Mi seh, buckle carry cork, hey-a

Banana carry stalk, hey-a, it carry stalk
Di tree carry bark, hey-a, it carry bark
Di sea carry shark, hey-a, it carry shark
Welton Irie a should talk, hey-a

About how you keep a dance in your area
'Cause, I man Welton Irie
At the microphone center

Cah, I man Welton Irie talk intelligently
Mi comin around di mic militantly

Seh, di dance have fi cock, hey-a

Banana carry stalk, hey-a, it carry stalk
Di tree carry bark, hey-a, it carry bark
Di sea carry shark, hey-a, it carry shark

Di night before di dance di goat did a walk
Di day of di dance it neck cut off
Di knife weh do dat, Jah Jah know, it sharp
You go in a di walk cut banana by di stock
You boil it in a di pot

And then him and my mother starting to row
