The thing call "Choice of Colour"
Every hour of the hour musical show, as I would tell you, say

Make us stick together like a bird in one feather in dis a weather

No true, you black, you have fi stab mi in a mi back
No true, you white, you are go broke a little fight
No true, you brown, you are go walk an' frown
No true, you red, you are go flash di natty dread
[Chorus]
'Cause a choice of colour (Wow)

Every hour of di hour, a choice of colour
Go play the musical show every hour of di hour
Live it up, daddy (Hey)
