Whoa, my, my, my, my, my
Whoa, oh, yes
I am leaving the first thing in the morning
I've got to pack by belonging
I can't take this life of living, no way
I've got to have the spot 'cause this place is too hot
I wanna be where it's quiet
All the the youths out in the street just a make riot
But I say: don't do that, don't do that
Youth-man, don't make riot
I say: don't do that, don't do that
Youth-man, don't make riot
I am leaving on a one way ticket
I won't be coming back
Leaving on a one way ticket
I've got to have the spot
That's why I'm leaving, leaving
The first thing in the morning
Don't do that, don't do that
Oh, no
I am leaving the first thing in the morning
I've got to pack by belonging
I can't take this life of living, no way
I've got to have the spot, 'cause this place is too hot
I wanna be where it's quiet
The youths out in the street just a make riot
And I said: don't do that, don't do that
No, no, youth-man, don't do that
Don't do that, don't you do that
No, no, youth-man, don't do that
Leaving the first the in the morning
I wanna pack by belonging
I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving
Yes, I've got to have the spot, this place is too hot
I wanna be where it's quiet
I can't take, how the youths dem a just a buss shot
Leaving, leaving, the first the in the morning
Leaving, leaving, the first the in the morning
I said: don't do that, don't do that
No, no, youth-man
Don't do that, don't do that
No, no, youth-man
Leaving the first thing in the morning
I've got to pack by belonging
I can't take this life of living, no way
I've got to have the spot, 'cause this place is too hot
I wanna be where it's quiet
'Cause the youths out in the street just a make riot
Oh, well
Don't do that, don't do that
No, no, youth-man, don't do that
I said: don't do that, don't do that
No, no, youth-man, don't do that
I've got a one way ticket
