It's been a long long time since you borrowed it from me
My reggae radio and all the songs we've loved
It's been a long long time since you took it away from me
My reggae radio and all the vibes we've known
I'd like to say, it's been a long long time since when
I've put my favorite songs and then, played it all over again oh oh!
Desmond Dekker's on singing out of Shantytown
Johnny you're too bad, so are the the Slickers too

0-0-7!
At ocean eleven
An' now rudeboys 'ave a wail
Dem a loot, Dem a shoot, dem a wail (a shanty town)
Dem a loot, Dem a shoot, dem a wail (a shanty town)
An' rudeboys out on probation (a shanty town)
An' rudeboy bomb up de town (a shanty town)

Walking down the road
With your pistol in your waist
Johnny you're too bad
Walking down the road
With your ratchet in your waist
Johnny you're too bad

It's been a long long time since you borrowed it from me
