Lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Everybody get ready
It's time to rocksteady
It's baba boom time, yes it is
Don't lose the beat now
Just dip your head now
It's festival fire, listen here
You hear the people sing
Boom boom, baba boom boom
Boom boom festival
Boom boom, baba boom boom
Boom boom festival
Boom boom, baba boom boom
Boom boom festival
Boom boom, baba boom boom
People are dancing
Teenagers romancing
It's baba boom time, listen here
Freddie get ready
Come do the rocksteady
It's baba boom time, listen here
You hear the people saying
Boom boom, baba boom boom
Boom boom festival
Boom boom, baba boom boom
Boom boom festival
Boom boom, baba boom boom
Boom boom festival
Boom boom, baba boom boom
People are dancing
Teenagers romancing
It's baba boom time, listen here
Freddie get ready
Come do the rocksteady
It's festival fire, listen here
You hear the children sing
Boom boom, baba boom boom
Boom boom festival
Boom boom, baba boom boom
