met alle Mann, in Kingston
ens loore wie die Sonn do schingk, e bizje spinkse
met alle Mann, in Kingston
Die Junge met dä wilde Rastalocke von da unge
de janze naacht jetrommelt un jesunge
ihre Reaggae do jedanzt dat han mer wunderbar jefunge
de janze Naacht jetrommelt un jesunge
un mir han för dä Rastamann jesaat:
Du jeck im rähn, du jeck, du jeck ey
meinste denn, mer künnte keine Reagae...
du mußt nur waggele waggele waggele waggele
waggele waggele waggele waggele Stippefott
waggele waggele waggele waggele waggele
waggele dat litt uns im Blot
waggele waggele waggele waggele waggele
waggele waggele waggele Stippefott
waggele waggele waggele waggele waggele
waggele künne mer Kölsche jot

Mer Kölsche künne fiere wie sonst keiner, dat is amtlich
denn wenn mer fiere, dann öhndlich
ob du schwatz, wiess oder blau bes, dat is nich wichtich
