Reggae Accident

-- Spoken: 

"Okay now, get ready here's your part. Now listen to me." 



It was a reggae accident 

I said a reggae accident 

I can't here you 

A reggae accident 

A reggae accident 

A reggae accident 

Now make room for the band 

A reggae accident 

Here they come here they come 

A reggae accident 

I say make room for them 

A reggae accident 

Ha ha, look out now 

It was a reggae accident 

A reggae accident 



This is not a political statement 

Nor is it a farce 

In the land of the great bald bird 

The rasta man is sparse 



He does not like our urban jungle 

Or our capitalistic nightmare 

He does not believe in auto insurance 

Mon I don't believe that is fair 



It was a reggae accident 

Four rastas in a rambler 

A reggae accident 

They came from out of nowhere 

A reggae accident 

They were smoking some spliff cigars 

A reggae accident 

They totaled out my car 



I lost the case that sealed my fate 

Last week in municipal court 

The judge ruled for rasta restitution 

Of a most peculiar sort 



Now there's four stoned faces at my dinner table 

And my wife wonders how come 

She does not mind the extra mouths to feed 

As much as she minds those after dinner drums 



We sing was a reggae accident 

Four rastas eating pasta 

A reggae accident 

Pass the parmesan please 

A reggae accident 

How does a rasta spell relief 

A reggae accident 

No problem mon, pass the spliff 



Oh reggae down... 



Now the sun shines on the isle of Jamaica 

As it's done since time began 

No problem says the rasta mon 

When I asked to join his band 



You see I sold my house I quit my job 

I left that narrow-minded wife 

And I moved to the island of Jamaica ya 

Just to live that rasta life 



It was a reggae accident 

Four rastas in a rambler 

A reggae accident 

They came from out of nowhere 

A reggae accident 

They were smoking some spliff cigars 

A reggae accident 

Now I've become a rasta star 



It was a reggae accident 

Look out world 

A reggae accident 

You know the harder they come 

A reggae accident 

The harder they fall one and all 

A reggae accident 

It was just an accident one day 

A reggae accident 

A reggae accident 

A reggae accident 

A reggae accident 



-- Spoken: 

"Come back, come back to Jamaica 

Come back to the way things used to be 

Ya, ya let's play some dominoes now mon 

Come on..."
