So unique
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
The rude boys back in town
The rude boys back in town
I tell ya that
The rude boys back in town
The rude boys back in town
See I was walking down the street about a quarter to four
It was early in the morning from the night before
Met a woman on the corner said yo come in my door
Heard the rhythm of the music pumping up from through floor
When I walked through the party it was ready to go
There were punk rockers reggae rockers all in a row
Windin and a grindin through the dj show
The woman from the corner I was getting to know
The rude boys back in town
The rude boys back in town
I tell ya that
The rude boys back in town
The rude boys back in town
I see ya whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Damn I say Micheal michael where you been
You been eating out you know you look a little thin
I been out in japan just chilln tokyo man
I toked up on the train to hiroshima and then
I jump into the water and I started to swim
Shanghai Ho Chi Minh city and then
DArundi indonesia where I hook with some friends
I visit tamaita down in tohor again
I jumped across the byron out of springs
Down to cape town where I be doing my thing
Then I be gone to uganda tanzania
Off to sudan and glad to see em
Jerusalem, mumbai, istanbul
Then down to rio sebala brazil
Up to Guadalajara kingston way
Stop off in havanah and I'm back to the bay
The rude boys back in town
The rude boys back in town
I tell ya that
The rude boys back in town
The rude boys back in town
We calln out from itune undergroune
I come to tell you
The rude boys back in town
Are you rocking rocking
Are you rolling rolling
Are you whining
Are you grinding grin
Do you want to rock a party to the morning morning
When the police come in, give a warning warning
I'm the drummer but feel like I pick up a mic
And when I rock the party you can do what you like
Get ready for the rhythm where we come here to sine
From la in the morning we won't stop until light
All night long we just rocking along
Dance to the dj we be singing a song
Hold to your lover if your loving is strong
Dance to the bass line all night long
The rude boys back in town
The rude boys back in town
Let me tell ya that
The rude boys back in town
The rude boys back in town
Whoa whoa whao whao
So unique
Whoa whoa whao whao
So unique
Whoa whoa whao whao
So unique
Whoa whoa whao whao
So unique
The rude boys back in town
