Laurel Aitken, The Skatalites - Rude Boy Dreams Lyrics

Everybody knows I'm a rude boy
Walking the streets of dreams.
Everybody knows I'm a rude boy
Walking the streets of dreams.

I'm just an ordinary man
With ordinary plans.
I'm just an ordinary man
With ordinary plans.

I had a dream last night
That I was a rich man,
But when I woke up this morning
I found out I was a poor man.

I dreamt I was the president
Living in a tent,
But when I woke up this morning
I was thrown out for not paying the rent.

No mama, no papa, and I live in the ghetto.
I'm just a child from a broken home.
