007 (Shanty Town) Lyrics
[Verse]
0-0-7, 0-0-7
At ocean eleven
And now rudeboys a go wail
'Cause them out of jail
Rudeboys cannot fail
'Cause them must get bail
[Chorus]
Dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a wail (A Shanty Town)
Dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a wail (A Shanty Town)
Dem rude boys deh pon probation (A Shanty Town)
Them a rude boy a bomb up the town (A Shanty Town)
[Verse]
0-0-7, 0-0-7
At ocean eleven
And now rudeboys a go wail
'Cause them out of jail
Rudeboys cannot fail
'Cause them must get bail
[Bridge]
Dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a wail (A Shanty Town)
Dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a wail (A Shanty Town)
Dem rude boys deh pon probation (A Shanty Town)
Them a rude boy a bomb up the town (A Shanty Town)
[Outro]

Soldier get longer (A Shanty Town)
Rudeboy a weep and a wail (A Shanty Town)
Rude boys a weep and a wail (A Shanty Town)
