RUDE VIBRATIONS

we did ska and bluebeat and you were going nuts
you might think ska music is all we've got
this goes out to funk and soul
to hip-hop, punk and socca
blue suede shoes and reggae roots
get down do the ska

folks you love to skank down that's okay
but don't forget there's lots of styles today
we are just a nutty tribe
of one great musical nation
jazz and blues and rock'n'roll
they gave us inspiration - inspiration

rude vibrations, vibrations - get off your seat
rude vibrations, vibrations - listen to the beat
rude vibrations, vibrations - give yourself a treat
rude vibrations, vibrations - move your skanking feet

porkpie hats and dms that's okay
we guess rude-boy-style is here to stay
and if your neighbour is a coloured guy
take things as they are
punks and dreads and teddy boys
dig this crazy skaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

rude vibrations, vibrations - get off your seat
rude vibrations, vibrations - listen to the beat
rude vibrations, vibrations - give yourself a treat
rude vibrations, vibrations - move your skanking feet

we are just a nutty tribe
of one great musical nation
jazz and blues and rock'n'roll
they gave us inspiration

rude vibrations, vibrations - get off your seat
rude vibrations, vibrations - listen to the beat
rude vibrations, vibrations - give yourself a treat
rude vibrations, vibrations - move your skanking feet

rude vibrations, vibrations
rude vibrations, vibrations
rude vibrations, vibrations
rude vibrations
