Some call it Spanish Town, but ah' Prison Oval Rock (2x)
Oooh, yeah (2x)
What ah' cool an' deadly
The wardens are watching
while the prisoners are dancing
when they hear the music playing
Hand inna di air like a Jockey fashion
Move slowly dat ah' cool an' deadly
Cock out batty like ah' water pumpy
Move lively so ah' husband can't see
Oooh, yeah (2x)
What ah' cool an' deadly
Some call it Spanish Town, but ah' Prison Oval Rock (2x)
The prisoners are skanking
The wardens are watching
some try to escape
when they hear the music playing
Some call it Spanish Town, but ah' Prison Oval Rock (2x)
Ooooh, yeah (2x)
What ah' cool an' deadly
Hand inna di air like ah' Jockey fashion
Cock out batty like ah' water pumpy
Wine slowly dat ah' cool an' deadly
Move lively so ah' husband can't see
Some call it Spanish Town, but ah' Prison Oval Rock (2x)
Ooooh, yeah (2x)
What ah' cool an' deadly
