Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Punky, punky, punk
Ooh yeah, yeah
Said you're gonna punky, punky, punk
[Verse 2]
New wave, new phrase
New wave, new craze
[Verse 3]
We're going to a party
And I hope you are hearty
So please don't be naughty
For it's a punky reggae party
[Verse 4]
New wave, alright, new craze
New wave, new phrase
[Verse 5]
It takes a joyful sound
To make the world go 'round
Come with your heart and soul
Oh, come-a, come-a rock your boat
It's a punky reggae party
And it's tonight
It's a punky reggae party
And it's alright
[Verse 6]
What did you say?
[Verse 7]
Rejected by society (Do, re, mi, fa)
Treated with impunity (So, la, te, do)
Protected by my dignity (Do, re, mi, fa)
I search for reality (So, la, te, do)
[Verse 8]
New wave, alright (Punky, punky, punk)
New craze (Punky, punky, punk)
New wave, new wave (Punky, punky, punk)
New phrase (Punky, punky, punk)
[Verse 9]
I'm saying
[Verse 10]
The Wailers will be there
The Dammed, The Jam, The Clash
Maytals will be there
Dr. Feelgood, too, ooh
No boring old farts, no boring old farts
No boring old farts will be there
Singing, no boring old farts, no boring old farts
No boring old farts will be there
[Verse 11]
Well, it's a punky reggae party
And it's tonight
It's a punky reggae party
And it's alright
[Verse 12]
Oh ah, a tip from a gypsy
She said man, you're getting tipsy
Hiding from reality
In your world of hypocrisy, yeah (Punky, punky, punk)
[Verse 13]
In your world of hypocrisy (Punk, punk, punk, punk)
In your world of hypocrisy (Punk, punk, punk, punk)
In your world of hypocrisy (Punk, punk, punk, punk)
In your world of hypocrisy (Punk, punk, punk, punk)
[Verse 14]
Look out
[Verse 15]
A-bubble, we a-bubble
We ain't looking for now trouble
But if you're trouble, trouble
We'll give it to you double
[Verse 16]
Lemme tell you
[Verse 17]
It takes a joyful sound
To make the world go 'round
It takes a joyful sound
So, come-a, come-a rock your boat
'Cause it's a punky reggae party
And it's tonight
Well, it's a punky reggae party
And it's alright
[Verse 18]
Oh ah, a tip from a gypsy (Do, re, mi, fa)
She said man, you're getting tipsy (So, la, te, do)
Hiding from reality (Do, re, mi, fa)
In your world of hypocrisy (So, la, te, do)
In your world of hypocrisy (Punky, punky, punk)
Said, you're hiding from reality
In your world of hypocrisy
In your world of hypocrisy
[Verse 19]
Lemme say that
[Verse 20]
I bubble, I bubble
I bubble, I bubble, I bubble, I bubble
I bubble, I bubble, I bubble away, I bubble
We ain't looking for no trouble, hey-hey
[Verse 21]
New wave, alright
New phrase (Punky, punky, punk)
