To make a world go around
Come with your heart and soul
Come on come and rock your boat
Because it's a punky reggae party
And it's tonight

Well, it's the punky reggae party
And it's tonight Punky reggae party
And it's alright
Oh ah!
A tip from a gypsy (Heh!)
(Do re mi fa)
She said "Man you getting tipsy"

In your world of Hypocrisy
