Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ska ska ska ska
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
Ska ska ska
Ska ska ska
[Verse 2]
Not many people can cha cha cha
Not everybody can do the twist
But everybody can do the ska
It's the new dance you can't resist
[Verse 3]
Ska ska ska
Jamaica ska
Now everybody can do the ska
It's the new dance that goes like this
[Verse 4]
Now bow your heads
Swing your arms
Shake your hips
Now do a dip
[Verse 5]
Ska ska ska
Jamaica ska
Ska ska ska
Do the ska
[Verse 6]
Not many people can cha cha cha
Not everybody can do the twist
But everybody can do the ska
It's the new dance you can't resist
[Verse 7]
Ska ska ska
Jamaica ska
Ska ska ska
Jamaica ska
[Verse 8]
Stand up
Sit down
Stand up
Sit down
Stand up
Sit down
