Skank By Numbers

(专辑： Big Daddy Multitude - 1993)

One! Get off your seat!
Two! Stomp your boots to the beat!
Three! Throw your knees in the air!
Four! Like you don't care!

We don't want to see you slamming in the pit, no!
We don't want to see our girlfriends kicked, no!
We just want to see you moving faster and faster
To the beat of the super ska master
Phonys like to slam to the beat of ska
We're not against that, but for us there's more
To dance with us you needn't act like a jerk
Skankin's meant for fun, not for getting hurt!

Skanking by numbers every night and day
Skanking by numbers is the only way
Get off your seat and take a chance
Skanking by numbers is the only way to dance!

You can shave your head or pierce your nose, nose!
Dress up in flannels or rudeboy clothes, clothes!
But where it matters is with your shoes
That's where ska's for your styling moves
Skanking ain't just dancing it's our way of life
Away from trouble, away from strife
Afraid of fun? Then you had better beware
Because on the dance floor, we don't have a care!

One! Get off your seat!
Two! Stomp your boots to the beat!
Three! Throw your knees in the air!
Four! Like you don't care!

Time to hit the floor, do it soon, soon!
Ska music's set to fill the room, room!
Have never skanked? Well it's time to start!
Soon you will be a rudeboy hot!
Finally we'd like to stop and thank our roots
Respect the Specials, Maytals, and Toots!
Wailing Wailers, Laurel Aitken, and Beat
But most of all the Skatalites, they're music complete!

Skanking by numbers every night and day
Skanking by numbers is the only way
Get off your seat and take a chance
Skanking by numbers is the only way to dance!

One! Get off your seat!
Two! Stomp your boots to the beat!
Three! Throw your knees in the air!
Four! Like you don't care!
