=====Uh, ah-oh-oh! I went downtown, (said,I went downtown) I saw Miss Brown; (said, I saw Miss Brown) She had brown sugar (had brown sugar) All over her booga-wooga. (over her booga-wooga)

I think I might join the fun, (I might join the fun) But I had to hit and run. (had to hit and run) See I just can't settle down (just can't settle down) In a kinky part of town.

Ride on; Don't you know I've got to (ride on), oh baby, Ride on; see I just can't settle down. (ride on) Oh, I'm a leavin' town. (kinky reggae)

Kinky reggae, take me away! (kinky reggae, now) Kinky reggae, now! Oh, kinky reggae; all I've got to say, kinky reggae, now! Kinky reggae, oh baby! Kinky reggae, now! It's gonna be kinky reggae (keep it up). Kinky reggae, now! An' I would say: ride on, ride on, ride on (ride on)! Oh, ride on, baby! Ride on, come on, woo-o-o! (ride on) Wo-now! Eh!

I went down to Piccadilly Circus; (ooh-ooh-ooh) Down there I saw Marcus: (oo-oo-oo-ooh) He had a candy tar (ooh-ooh-ooh) All over his chocolate bar. (oo-oo-oo-ooh)

I think I might join the fun, (I might join the fun) But I had to hit and run. (had to hit and run) See I just can't settle down (just can't settle down) In a kinky, kinky part of town.

Nice one; that's what they say, (nice one) But I'm leavin' you today. (nice one) Oh, darlin', please don't pay: (nice one) Mama say - mama say.

Kinky reggae - kinky reggae, uh! Kinky reggae, now! Take it or leave it! Kinky reggae, believe it! Kinky reggae, now! Kinky reggae - it's gonna be: kinky reggae! Kinky reggae, now! Cuka-yeah, now! Kinky reggae - sca-ba-dool-ya-bung, baby! Kinky reggae, now, oh-oh-ooh! (Ride on!) Ride on! Come on, yeah! (Ride on) Riding on - riding on! Ride on, kinky reggae. Come on, ride on! Eh! Eh! Kinky, kinky, kinky as kinky (kinky reggae) can be ! Reggae! Eh! Kinky reggae! Let me hear ya say, now: kinky reggae, now. Oh! Kinky reggae! Kinky reggae, now! Kick it away! Kinky reggae - kick it away, now! Kinky reggae, now, oh! Ride on! /fadeout/===== == Facts==
