Skupa dubado skupa adbu du oooo
Skupa dubado skupa adbu du oooo
Ooooooooo oooooooooooo
In this time of doubt
Those were the wrong words from your moooouth
I needed more than tryyy
Just to keep you satisfiiied
Used to be, so easyyy
When we were hand in haaand
Todays the day your gunna leave me (oh I know)
Can I have this last dance
Skupa dubado skupa adbu du oooo
Skupa dubado skupa adbu du oooo
Ooooooooo oooooooooooo
I used hear sweet lullaby
Ahhhhhhhh
I give you my fruit my sacrafice
Im so sorry it did not work out
Can I have this last dance
Ooooooooooooo oooooooo
Oooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooo
I could have made you promiseeeeess
To be lockdown in a home
Seems to be so much brighter on the outside
Further down our roaadd
Used to be so easyyyyy
When we live like one blood
Todays the day your gunna leave me (oh I Know)




Can I have this last dance
Can I have this last dance

The wok is hard but we naw give up till a moron
And though you may be tired
Don't you lose heart
Yes mi brethren
And mi sisten
Live up
Live up live live up
Don't you
Give up give up give up
Time Fi man woman and pikiny
Fi stand up
Stan up
Stan up
Fa we no come ya Fi play
With no slave massa or boss man today
Versr
Well they say times have chsnged
But mi no see it no way
For Di work Fi Di little wages

And even though we protests
And complain
Still they are not listening
Fa mi no see wey the little man wage us getting higher
And all dem have Fi say
Is cut back job loss recession inflation
Add austerity
Whilst dem a I've in high rise flat in a city
Day and night man a Fi wok so hard in a ghetto
And my first seed him tech and plant every field
Repeat hook
Then out
Lyrics by Li songpi Di origina
And jah earthly Angels
