Keeping A Dance

[Intro]
Well, Nico playin' this musical stuff
An' I an' I really love ruff
But, easy, mister Fabulous, dem get bust
In God mi put mi trust

[Chorus]
'Cause, if you put me in a di bank, I'm a bank manager
Put me in a di bar, I'm a bartender
Put me pon a horse, I'm a horse rider
Big Nicodemus are di master-blaster
Him keepin' a dance in a South Africa
Keepin' a dance in a South Africa
Send fi some deejay fi make some dollar
Fi feed poor people in a Ethiopia

[Verse 1]
'Cause, some of dem kill the fly an' mosquito
Send fi Brigadier, di cultural teacher
Send fi Josey Wales, di ruff-neck tracker
Sеnd fi Roland, I man big bredda

Dеm no want Sassafrass 'cause him a work obeah
No want pupa Trees, him a buy shoe-maker
Well, listen mister Demus as di master-blaster
For, dis a one come fi mash up America
Cah, mi gone with di shop, keep a dawta

Nah give mi rice, I want thousand dollar
She write my name pon a chaparrita
Di girl fling a pan a with some eagle feather
Out of mi fridge mi drink mi ice-water

[Chorus]
