Jimmy Cliff
Raggae Down Babylon
[Verse 1]
This girl walk up to me one day
This is what she had to say:
"Reggae makes me feel alright
I want to do it with you tonight"

[Chorus]
So we took a stroll out on the town
Find the hottest spot around
Then we start jammin' to the sound
[?] jam it down reggae them down
Reggae down Babylon
(Reggae down Babylon)
Reggae down Apartheid
(Reggae down Apartheid)
Reggae down Babylon
(Reggae down Babylon)
Reggae down Apartheid
(Reggae down Apartheid)
Do it again [x4]

[Verse 2]
I bet they think they have seen the end
While we were coasting around the band
Checking on some friends we know
Come, let's go to our [?]
[Chorus]
So we took a stroll out on the town
Find the hottest spot around
Then we start jammin' to the sound
[?] jam it down reggae them down
Reggae down Babylon
(Reggae down Babylon)

[Verse 3]
I bet they think they have control
From all of the people with rock 'n' roll
I bet they think they can hide the truth
From all the people from here; our roots
[Refrain]
When they think that they have had their way
Here we come, it's a brand new day
Now they had listen what we have to say
Now we start to reggae them down

[Chorus]
Reggae down Babylon
