Each and everyone a shout hip hip hooray
Survival is the program now,
Jah must come my way
Now you might a wonder why I feef so merry
But I fe me country and me feel irie
So we ha fe dance a yard before we dance abroad
Naw follow foolish people talk 'bout times so hard '
No bother fret no time to skylark
Who laugh last said a him have de laugh
Every thing have it's season
Each and every thing have it's time
Production is the key to survival, universally
Everyone a got them jubilee
Come mek we dance a yard before we dance abroad
Naw follow foolish people talk 'bout times so hard
No bother clash, no time to skylark
Who laugh last said a him have de laugh
After all that's said and done
Still there is battle to be won
We ha fe practice a yard, first
Before we come out abroad, sir
We have to kick before me walk, me Lord
No time to skylark a yard
Anywhere you come from you're welcome
Come mek we dance a yard before we dance abroad
Naw follow foolish people talk 'bout times so hard
No bother clash, no time to skylark
Who laugh last said a him ha fe laugh
Mek we dance a yard before we dance abroad
Don't follow foolish people talk 'bout times so hard
No bother clash, no time to skylark
Who laugh last said a him have de laugh
Mek we dance a yard before we dance abroad...
