Boyz Lyrics

Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Boyz there - how many?
Boyz there [3x]


How many tequilas in the place?
How many beers are in the case?
Boyz there - how many?
Boyz there

How many dutty wine swing it away?
How many shots without a chase?
Boyz there - how many?
Boyz there

How many mash up and in a haze?
How many wacky dip fall on their head?
Boyz there - how many?
Boyz there

How many no money boyz are crazy?
How many boyz are raw?
How many no money boyz are rowdy?
How many start a war? [2x]

Ooooow gosh!

Hey now
Let me go
Hey now
Can we go riding up a dirty track up to Laventille?
Could you show me for I make it back
Somewhre I can chill

Hey now
Let me go
Hey now
Can we go riding on a motor bike up to Sugar Hill?
Cooking chicken on the wall
With the system up on full

What we do now?
Duppa bounce
Dem der
Duppa bounce[4x]

Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Boyz there - how many?
Boyz there [3x]

How many no money boyz are crazy?
How many boyz are raw?
How many no money boyz are rowdy?
How many start a war? [2x]
