Rude Boys Back In Town

So unique!

the rude boy's back in town

the rude boy's back in town

see, I was walkin' 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 to come in my door

heard the rhythm of the music pumpin' up through the floor

when I walk into the party it was ready to go

there were punk rockers, reggae rockers all in row

whinin' and a grindin' to the DJ show

and the woman from the corner I was gettin' to know

the rude boy's back in town

the rude boy's back in town

Dem I say Michael Michael, where you been?

You been eatin' alright? ya know you look a little thin

I been out in Japan chillin' Tokyo man

I took the bullet train to Hiroshima and then

I jump into the water and I started to swim

shanghai, ho-chi-minh city and then

down to Indonesia where I hooked with some friends

I visit tami iti down in tuhoe again

I jump across to byron, alice springs

down to capetown where I be doin' my thing

then I be gone to Uganda, Tanzania

up to Sudana, glad to see 'em

Jerusalem Mumbai Istanbul

then down to Rio, Sao Paulo Brasil

up to guadalajara, Kingston way,

stop off in habana now I'm back to the bay

the rude boy's back in town

the rude boy's back in town

we callin' out! from high to underground

we come to tell you, the rude boys back in town!

Are you rockin' rockin'?

Are you rollin' rollin'?

Are you whinin' whinin'?

Are you grindin' grindin'?

Do you wanna rock a party 'till the morning

Yeah we wanna rock a party till the morning

When the police comin' in we give a warnin'

I'm a drumma but I often like to pick up my mic

And when I rock a party you can do whatcha like

Get ready for the riddim when we come into sight

From early in the mornin' we no stop until light

All night long we just rockin' along

Thanks to the DJ we be singin' a song

Hold to your lover if your lovin' is strong

Dance to the bass line all night long
