-- Spoken:
|
"Okay now, get ready here's your part. Now listen to me."
|
|
It was a reggae accident
|
I said a reggae accident
|
I can't here you
|
A reggae accident
|
A reggae accident
|
A reggae accident
|
Now make room for the band
|
A reggae accident
|
Here they come here they come
|
A reggae accident
|
I say make room for them
|
A reggae accident
|
Ha ha, look out now
|
It was a reggae accident
|
A reggae accident
|
|
This is not a political statement
|
Nor is it a farce
|
In the land of the great bald bird
|
The rasta man is sparse
|
|
He does not like our urban jungle
|
Or our capitalistic nightmare
|
He does not believe in auto insurance
|
Mon I don't believe that is fair
|
|
It was a reggae accident
|
Four rastas in a rambler
|
A reggae accident
|
They came from out of nowhere
|
A reggae accident
|
They were smoking some spliff cigars
|
A reggae accident
|
They totaled out my car
|
|
I lost the case that sealed my fate
|
Last week in municipal court
|
The judge ruled for rasta restitution
|
Of a most peculiar sort
|
|
Now there's four stoned faces at my dinner table
|
And my wife wonders how come
|
She does not mind the extra mouths to feed
|
As much as she minds those after dinner drums
|
|
We sing was a reggae accident
|
Four rastas eating pasta
|
A reggae accident
|
Pass the parmesan please
|
A reggae accident
|
How does a rasta spell relief
|
A reggae accident
|
No problem mon, pass the spliff
|
|
Oh reggae down...
|
|
Now the sun shines on the isle of Jamaica
|
As it's done since time began
|
No problem says the rasta mon
|
When I asked to join his band
|
|
You see I sold my house I quit my job
|
I left that narrow-minded wife
|
And I moved to the island of Jamaica ya
|
Just to live that rasta life
|
|
It was a reggae accident
|
Four rastas in a rambler
|
A reggae accident
|
They came from out of nowhere
|
A reggae accident
|
They were smoking some spliff cigars
|
A reggae accident
|
Now I've become a rasta star
|
|
It was a reggae accident
|
Look out world
|
A reggae accident
|
You know the harder they come
|
A reggae accident
|
The harder they fall one and all
|
A reggae accident
|
It was just an accident one day
|
A reggae accident
|
A reggae accident
|
A reggae accident
|
A reggae accident
|
|
-- Spoken:
|
"Come back, come back to Jamaica
|
Come back to the way things used to be
|
Ya, ya let's play some dominoes now mon
|
Come on..."
