Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Yalla Yalla lyrics
Let's forget you didn't show
Not in my time
But in our sons' and daughters' time
When you get the feeling
Call and you got a room
Meantime, we're cutting our hands at the kebab shop
In the streets of fear
Forgetting all our best taekwondo moves
On a barrel of beer
We trying to get a signal on a Ragga F.M.
Do the D.T.I., bust CNN
Sucking the wine right outta the vine
Spitting it out again
Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'
Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'
Drive, drive, drive
Distance no object, rasta for I
Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalah
Yalla, yalla, yalioo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalah
Jumbalaya on the Bayou
Kool Moe Dee was in the treacherous three
There's old school, new school and Brownie McGee
Going underwater to explode
Now night is falling on the grove
You can but dream
And I hear
Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalah
Yalla, yalla, yalioo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalah
Jumbalaya on the Bayou
Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalah
Yalla, yalla, yalioo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalah
There's jumbalaya on the Bayou tonight in the grove
Well, so long liberty
Just let's forget you never showed
Not in my time
But in our sons' and daughters' time
When you get the feeling
Call and you got a room
Meantime, we're cutting our hands on the kebab shop
In the streets of fear
Forgetting all those best taekwondo moves
On a barrel of beer
Trying to get a signal through from Ragga F.M.
Do the D.T.I., bust CNN
Sucking the swine right outta the vine
Spitting it back again
Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'
Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'
Drive, drive
Distance no object, rasta for I
Somebody got a vision of a homeland
From a township, from a township window
Through a township window
Some crazy widow dares to have a vision
Starts seething, like
Seeming like a homeland on the plain
Not in focus yet
Seeming like a homeland on the plain
Not a focus yet
I'm groovin' with a free syle nation
And maximum density
And I say
Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalah
Yalla, yalla, yalioo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalah
Jumbalaya on the Bayou
Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalah
Yalla, yalla, yalioo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalah
Only to shine, shine in gold, shine
