The Beat Goes Ska!

Taking you down Nunwood Lane, mr dj play it again and again the beat goes on on and on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La de da de de, la de da de da
Ska beat was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The bass became the current thing, uh huh Soundsystem is still the king, uh huh And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
Have to hail up the bredrin Peter King
Him are the one who double time up the ting speed up the talking speed up the rhyme
and everyone just follow behind

thats how we so versitile
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La de da de de, la de da de da
Roots rock turned into rub a dub uh huh Little girls still breaking hearts uh huh
and man still keep marching off to war electricly they watch the world uh huh And the beat goes on
