[Intro]
Style come to do it
Riddim shocker, brethren
A give up a lick
Well, who God bless, no man curse
I'm talking about the runs the China store that hold the purse
Well, Demus front him case, ain't time for waste
Play 'bout di [?] (Hear, my brethren!)
[Chorus]
Keepin' a dance in a South Africa
Keepin' a dance in a South Africa
Fi feed poor people 'cause dem a suffer
Nuff of dem kill fly an' yam mosquito
[Verse 1]
Dem send fi Josey Wales, di ruff-neck trapper
Dem send fi Super Cat, di bare-back rider
Dem send fi Sassafrass, 'cause him a obeah worker
Dem no want Chaplin, 'cause him a pork-eater
Burro catch him with a pony in a brown paper
An' a tell mister Demus, "A fish burger"
An' settle mister Demus, for you a gangster
Is not too wise to end a [?] (Because)
[Chorus]
Keepin' a dance in a South Africa
Keepin' a dance in a South Africa
Fi feed poor people 'cause dem a suffer
For, nuff of dem kill fly an' yam mosquito
[Verse 2]
Dem send fi Nicodemus, for him a father
Send fi pupa Youth, a him a entertainer
Easy mister Konders, you are my producer
Settle pupa Jabbar, you are my selector
Any ting come test, dem a go get a nova
A Eagle sound-boy, dem better hold dem corner
It come like a patch off your little finger (Because)
[Chorus]
Keepin' a dance in a South Africa
Keepin' a dance in a South Africa
[Verse 3]
A just di other day dem free Mandela
Settle mister Demus, you are entertainer
Mi sit down pon di riddim like a pot over fire
Mi sit down pon di riddim like a rock in a river
An' angel of heaven with some eagles feather
From the elephant trunks a mi drink mi water
An' settle mister Demus for you are di father (Who no)
Like you, man, dem better hold dem corner (Because)
[Chorus]
Keepin' a dance in a South Africa
Keepin' a dance in a South Africa
Dem send fi some deejay fi make some dollar
Fi feed poor people in a Ethiopia
For, nuff of dem kill fly an' yam mosquito
[Verse 4]
Send fi Josey Wales, bad-boy here come
Send fi Super Car, di bare-back rider
Dem don't want Sassafrass 'cause him a work obeah
No want papa Trees, him a buy shoe-maker
No want Chaplin cah him a pork-eater
Burro catch him with a pony in a brown paper
An' a tell mister Demus, "A fish burger"
Settle mister Demus, you big-boat yah
A when mi was a youth mi used to suck mi finger
If mi belly hurt mi, a mi go boil ginger
Big up mi brethren, di one [?] Sam
Easy mister Konders, you are my producer
Easy Jabbar, you are I selector
Any ting come test, dem a go get a nova (Because)
[Chorus]
Keepin' a dance in a South Africa
Keepin' a dance in a South Africa
Dem send fi some deejay fi make some dollar
Feed poor people in a Ethiopia
[Bridge]
Beca', mi sit down pon di riddim like a pot over fire
Sit down pon di riddim like a tube in a tire
Sit down pon di riddim like a fish in water
Easy mister Natchilous, you big-boat yah
Any ting come test, better hold dem corner
Settle mister Demus, you nice-boat yah (Because)
[Outro]
Keepin' a dance in a South Africa
Keepin' a dance in a South Africa
