I don't know the rock and the roll
Cannot sing funk and soul
I don't know the bluegrass and jazz
Boy‚ my singing is a mess
I can't sit upon the rhythm'n'blues
Cannot jump up with my blue suede shoes
Can't sing like jacko chants along
I just can do one song

Chorus:
The only song I know‚ is the ska a gogo
The ska a gogo is the only song I know
Though I am no part of the yardland called jamaica

I feel like jamaica is part of my body and part of my
Soul

No matter how I try all the day
No matter how I sing all the way
I can't even sing a little thing for a school pickney
Hip a hopical pop and disco and tekkno is all wrong
There's only one song I can sing all the day
And all the night long

Chorus
