At Ocean 11
And now rude boys have go wail
?Cause them out of jail
Rude boys cannot fail
'Cause them must get bail
Dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a wail
A Shanty Town
Dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a wail
A Shanty Town
Dem rudely get a probation
A Shanty Town
And rudely a bomb up the town
A Shanty Town
Police get taller
A Shanty Town
Soldier get longer
A Shanty Town
Rude boy a weep and a wail
A Shanty Town
Rude boy a weep and a wail
A Shanty Town
