King Tubby Shank Songtext
von U‐Roy

My name is not Al Capone
But I can tip up them tone, you know
An′ I'm gonna crack a dem bone

Tell it to me, as I would tell you
Stay away, as I would tell you, stay away
′Cause Tubby's on the scene, you see
Call it Tubby Skank, as I would tell you
When I play, I play to the high rank, you know
Scoop, boop, you, boop
Scoop, boop, doop, bop, stoop, deh
Shout mi Jah, 'cause I would tell it to you (Yeah)
When you feel, feel the riddim
Tell you, you got to stick with him, you know
You got to skip an′ flip an′ dip your hip (One time)


Woah, daddy-o, you get me on the scene, as I would beg you
Make your move an' swing along
An′ believe me, I'm a playin′ on strong (Huh, wow)
Stay away, I beg you
This is called the king Tubby Skank
When a lion is tired of sleepin', you know
Never you ever try to wake him (Yeah)
Baby, tell it to you
Because, a lion can cry you one time
A lion got the power to paw you down (Do it to me)

Stay away, you stay away
′Cause Tubby's really here to stay
It's called the king Tubby Skank, I tell you
An′ when I play, it in a higher rank, I say (Huh)
Do it to me, as I would beg you
Sounds kinda really shocking, I would say
Well, I tell you, when you feel the riddim
You just got to stick with him

So, people, when I tell it to you one time
You got to live it up an′ never give it up
You got to shake your shoulder one time
Skip an' flip an′ dip your hip, as I would play
Cah, I'm the king Tubby Skank
An′ said, to hold dem, Tubby's got to hold dem (Huh)


I′m gonna put you back in your bedroom
I'm gonna take out my yard broom
I'm gonna throw you to your tomb (Huh)
Little me hear me say
So stay away, you got to stay away
Stay away, out of my way (Huh)
