xanadu & sweet lady - rockers choice lyrics

[xanadu]
this is your girl xanadu, x-a-n-a-d-u
i’m gonna get it together, gonna do it for you
we’re gonna lay down the rhythms of our bad bad sound
and you won’t know what hit you ’til you turn around
let me tell you, honey child, i was sick today
my mama cooked me some mule that really put me away
now i’m back on my feet and i’m tellin’ ya sweet
c’mon, little honey, let’s boogie tonight
ya see, little mama, this is sat-rday night
and me and my old man are gonna make it alright
he got dressed in his pointed toes
his three-piece suit and his satin bows
i put on my fancy clothes
did my ‘do and put on my shoes
now we’re really ready to go
and sugar pie wouldn’t you like to know
there’s a big hole in his back tie
but that won’t spoil the show
and here we are at the disco gates
and approaching me is one of my mates
c’mon down let me introduce
y’all to a lady who is full of spruce
c’mon sweet lady, let me hear your voice

[sweet lady]
you’re hearin’ sweet lady on the microphone
she’s here, baby, just to give you some more
sat-rday night and we’re feeling alright
backed it on out just to have a bite
roaches fall all over the food
and xanadu said “this ain’t go good”
had a milkshake to quench our thirst
but flies on the gl-ss was even worse
i said “xan, let’s get out of this place”
i said “xan, this is just a waste”
so we moved it on out, to tour the town
check this dred, the hottest around
he had hair right down to his navel string
on his fingers he had 10 gold rings
we listened to the dred sing his song
but all his lyrics came out wrong
scoobie-doo rock, we rock, scoobie-doo
rocker’s choice comin’ at you
and then ya rock to the rock there’s so much soul
and then ya rock to the rock whether young or old
mo-bay, mo-bay, royal caribbean (say what!)
whether you’re black or white
we’re gonna make it alright
whether you live here or on the other side
cocaine, cocaine, to go straight to your brain
or would you all like to take a little whiff
of the irie irie collie spliff
mo-bay, mo-bay, royal caribbean
in case you didn’t know what was going down
this is jamaican version to the good times sound
all the doctor’s were rockin’ to the beat
simply there to cool the heat
while the dreds just sk-nked and shuffled their feet
so love for the music, gettin’ on down
doin’ the dance that’s going around
twas 2 o’clock when we left this place
takin’ it easy there was just no haste
i wish i could give ya some more
but c’mon xan, what are you waiting for?

[xanadu]
yes, sweet lady i’m here once more
to tell you about a brand new score
my old man came home last night
findin’ that there was no one in sight
he got so mad he had a fit
his fists he clenched his gums he grit
was around that time we were gettin’ down
at the disco to the soulful sound
doin’ the patty duke, doin’ the freak
doin’ the reggae to the rocker’s beat
it was a sat-rday night and we were doing all right
doing alright on a sat-rday night
a boogie-oogie, scoobie, a doobie-doo
rocker’s choice comin’ at you
the desired effect is what you get
when that dj tunes into his set
“hey little mama what did your man say
when he saw you with chester the other day?”
he didn’t say a word
only grabbed me like a bird
and slapped me on my beak before i could even speak
you think you’re hard, eeh
you think you’re hard, eeh
a drive like the king inna boy capri
well, let me tell you something, him nah say a thing
and if him go a him yard, me a come fi him
you think you’re hard, eeh
you think you’re hard, eeh
you really lost in a lingo like a guy called, ringo
hold on to your lips, it’s two gun kid
while we tete-a-tete, you ain’t heard nothing yet

[musical interlude]

let me get my sungl-sses, and put them on
although the sun is already gone
i gotta take a good view of what’s going down
the party’s swingin’ and everything’s fine
guys and gals rockin’ and doin’ the grind
georgie porgie puddin’ and pie
kissed the girls and made them cry
when i saw georgie porgie and asked him, “why?”
he didn’t say a word, only up and died
that man just kissed and said goodbye
rock to the boogie and you’re playin’ the funk
and you’re drinkin’ wine until you’re drunk
then you open your mouth to tell the story
about the woman that had no dates (say what!)
she was brushin’ her teeth and accidentally
down the drain went her plates
and the guy next to you opened his mouth
and i tell you it’s a sin
and you turned around just to discover
he has a toothless grin
lemme tell you ’bout it

mo-bay, mo-bay, royal caribbean (say what!)
whether you’re black or white
we’re gonna make it alright
whether you live here or on the other side
cocaine, cocaine, to go straight to your brain
or would you all like to take a little whiff
of the irie irie collie spliff
mo-bay, mo-bay, royal caribbean
in case you didn’t know what was going down
this is jamaican version to the ‘good times’ sound

scoobie doop rock we rock a scoobie doo
guess what, jamaica, we love you
then ya rock to the rock to so much soul
and then ya rock to the rock whether young or old

cocaine, cocaine, to go straight to your brain

you think you’re hard, eeh
you think you’re hard, eeh
a drive like the king inna boy capri
well, let me tell you something, him nah say a thing
and if him go a him yard, me a come fi him

whether you’re black or white
we’re gonna make it alright
whether you live here or on the other side
cocaine, cocaine, to go straight to your brain
or would you all like to take a little whiff
of the irie irie collie spliff
