The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take your time, take time for the king is back,
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top.
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.
Don't rush it, man, you will surely lose it
I am going to burn your skin like a blazing fire.
So take your time, take time for the king is back.
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top.
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.
I want you to know who's the king of the ska.
The king of the ska is right here on top.
So take your time, take time for the king is back.
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top.
The king is back, right here, and he's right on top.
Take your time, take time for the king is back.
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top.
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.
I want you to know who's the king of the ska.
The king of the ska is right here on top.
So take your time, take time for the king is back.
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top.
The king is back, right here, and he's right on top.
