I was walkin' down the street,
Concen-tratin' on truckin' right,
I heard a dark voice beside of me,
And I looked round in a state of fright.
I saw four faces, one mad,
They looked me up and down a bit,
And turned to each other.
I say:
I don't like cricket,
Oh no,
I love it.
I don't like cricket,
Oh no,
I love it.
Don't you walk through my words,
You got to show some respect.
Don't you walk through my words,
'Cos you ain't heard me out yet.
Well he looked down at my silver chain,
He said I'll give you one dollar.
I said You've got to be jokin' man,
It was a present from me mother.
He said I like it, I want it,
I'll take it off your hands,
And you'll be sorry you crossed me,
You'd better under-stand,
That you're a-lone,
And I say:
I don't like reggae,
Oh no,
I love it.
I don't like reggae,
Oh no,
I love it.
Don't you cramp me style,
Don't you queer on me pitch.
Don't you walk through my words,
'Cos you ain't heard me out yet.
*KEY CHANGE*
I hurried back to the swimming pool,
Sinkin' pina coladas,
I heard a dark voice beside me say,
Would you like something harder.
She said I've got it, you want it,
My harvest is the best,
And if you try it you'll like it,
And wallow in a dreadlock holi...
(Dreadlock, holi, Dreadlock holi,
Deadlock holi, Dreadlock holiday).
And I say:
Don't like Ja-maica,
Oh no,
I love her.
Don't like Ja-maica,
Oh no,
I love her.
Don't you walk through her words,
You got to show some respect.
Don't you walk through her words,
'Cos you ain't heard me out yet.
I don't like cricket,
Oh no,
I love it. (Dreadlock Holi-day).
I don't like reggae,
Oh no,
I love it. (Dreadlock Holi-day).
Don't like Ja-maica,
Oh no,
I love her. (Dreadlock Holi-day).
I don't like cricket,
Oh no,
I love it. (Dreadlock Holi-day).
I don't like reggae,
Oh no,
I love it. (Dreadlock Holi-day).
