Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I went downtown, I saw Miss Brown
Said I went downtown, said I saw Miss Brown
She had brown sugar all over her booga-wooga
She had brown sugar all over her booga-wooga
I think I might join the fun, but I had to hit and run
I might join the fun, I had to hit and run
See, I just can't settle down in a kinky part of town
I just can't settle down
[PreChorus]
Ride on, don't you know I've got to, oh, baby (Ride on)
Ride on, see, I just can't settle down (Ride on)
Oh, I'ma leaving town (Kinky reggae)
[Chorus]
Kinky reggae, take me away, kinky reggae now
Oh, kinky reggae, all I've got to say, kinky reggae now, oh
Kinky reggae, oh, baby, kinky reggae now
It's gonna be kinky reggae, keep it up, kinky reggae now
And I would say ride on, ride on, ride on, oh, ride on, baby
Ride on, come on, whoa, oh, now, eh
[Verse 2]
I went down to Piccadilly Circus, down there I saw Marcus
He had a candy tar all over his chocolate bar
I think I might join the fun, but I had to hit and run
I might join the fun, had to hit and run
See, I just can't settle down in a kinky part of town
I just can't settle down
[PreChorus]
Nice one, nice one
Nice one, that's what they say, but I'm leaving you today
Nice one, nice one
Oh, darling, please don't pay, mama say, mama say
[Chorus]
Kinky reggae, kinky reggae, uh, kinky reggae now, take it or leave it
Kinky reggae, believe it, eh, kinky reggae now
It's kinky reggae, it's gonna be kinky reggae, kinky reggae now
Cuka-yeah, now, kinky reggae
Kinky reggae now, oh
[Outro]
Ride on, come on, yeah, riding on, riding on
Ride on, kinky reggae come on, ride on, eh, eh
Kinky, kinky, kinky as kinky can be, reggae, eh
Kinky reggae, let me hear you say now, kinky reggae now, oh
It's kinky reggae, it's kinky reggae now, kick it away
Kinky reggae, kick it away, now, kinky reggae now, oh
