Freddie McGregor - Roots Man Skanking Lyrics

[Verse 1]
See the roots-dem skanking
An' everybody rocking
A pure Rub-a-Dub keep playing
Dance hall ram an' everywhere jam

[Chorus]
The roots man skanking
Everyone just a rock to di riddim
Roots man skanking
Dis ya riddim make you dance an' swing (Woah-oy)
Woah-oh-oy, woah-woah

[Verse 2]
The people keep bawling for more
Deejay say "I'm gonna play it for all"
The people-dem rock, the people-dem dip
Dance hall cork an' the people-dem get hit

[Chorus]
The roots man skanking
Everyone just a rock to di riddim
Roots man skanking
Dis ya riddim make you dance an' swing (Woah-oy)
Roots man skanking

[Verse 3]
A big-big top ranking
Watch him a skanking (One more thing)
The people keep calling for more
Deejay say "I'm gonna play it for all"
The people-dem rock, the people-dem dip
Dance hall cork an' the people-dem get hit

[Chorus]
The roots man skanking
Everyone just a rock to di riddim
Roots man skanking
Dis ya riddim make you dance an' swing
