All because of you
River deep and a mountain high

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last

Persecution you must bear
Win or lose you've got to get your share

Skinheads, all you skinheads
C'mon, let's move and groove, ohh

You all hypocrite, you all hippopotamus, you all hypocrite, you

Honor your mother and your father that your days may be long on the land
Children, obey your parents and the law
This is the law of the prophets
Honor your mother and your father that your days may be long on the land
Children, obey your parents and the law

Love your parents as how you love yourself
Do onto others as they would do to you

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir,

Jamaica Ska
Desmond Dekker
Ska ska ska, Jamaica ska
Ska ska ska, Jamaica ska.

Not many people can cha cha cha.
Not everybody can do the twist.
But everybody can do the ska,

Keep a cool head
(Don't get excited)
Keep a cool head
(If you are righty)
Keep a cool head
(Don't get excited)

For in the darkness and countryside

Papa, papa, papa
Do not lick me with that
Mama, mama, mama
It licked too hot

I've got the flipping hiccups, mama
I've got the flipping hiccups, papa

Music like dirt for your money's worth (yeah)

I put my money into a condens can
You steal it 'way, give it to your TV man
Come here, pickney gal, come here,
Where you think you're running to
I said to come here, girl, pickney gal, come here

How could you say that I'm not real
Look pon your face, it fayva turn cornmeal

When your heart is filled with sorrow
Sing a little song, sing a little song
When you're worried and feel heavy-laden
Sing a little song, sing a little song

It doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl
Just remember it's not the end of the world

I get up in the morning slaving for bread sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Oooh, oooh mi Israelites

I get up in the morning slaving for bread sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Oooh, oooh mi Israelites

This is the time that we all should live as one, brothers.
This is the time that we all should live as one, sisters.
So come along brothers,
And come along sisters.

This unity.
So come along brothers and sisters. Whoah-ohhh!

You can get it if you really want
you can get it if you really want
you can get it if you really want
but you must try
