[Verse 1]
Everybody get ready
It's time to rocksteady
It's ba-ba-boom, yes, it is
Don't lose the beat, now
Just dip your head, now
It's festival fire, listen here
(You hear the people saying)
[Chorus]
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
Boom-boom festival
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
Boom-boom festival
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
Boom-boom festival
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
[Verse 2]
People are dancing, teenagers romancing
It's ba-ba-boom time, listen here
Freddie, get ready
Come do the rocksteady
It's ba-ba-boom time, listen here
(You hear the people saying)
[Chorus]
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
Boom-boom festival
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
Boom-boom festival
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
Boom-boom festival
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
[Verse 3]
People are dancing, teenagers romancing
It's ba-ba-boom time, listen here
Freddie, get ready
Come do the rocksteady
It's festival fire, listen here
(You hear the children saying)
[Chorus]
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
Boom-boom festival
Boom, boom, ba-ba-boom-boom
