Lyrics

96 degrees in the shade
Real hot (oh, yes) in the shade
My heart is, my heart is, my heart is, my heart is
Said it was 96 degrees in the shade
Ten thousand soldiers on parade
Taking I and I to meet a big fat boy
Sent from overseas the queen employ, eh
Your excellency before you, I come with my representation
You know where I'm coming from, yes
Caught me on the loose, fighting to be free
Showing me a noose on the cotton tree
Entertainment for you, yeah, men fire is martyrdom for me, yeah, yeah, eh
96 degrees (ooh-ooh) in the shade (yeah, yeah)
Real hot (in me when I sing) in the shade (in me when I sing)
96 degrees (that's right) in the shade (oh, oh)
Real hot (oh, yes) in the shade
My heart is, my heart is, my heart is
My heart is beating quickly
My skin is dark and sticky
Your shade shows me no mercy
Real hot and plus I'm thirsty
My looks can hardly fit me
My clothe is soil and filthy
My body bruised and sweaty
My stomach's always empty
Rest my soul from all your lashes
Quarters from all, two ashes
My flesh incarcerated
My conscience free from shackles
My face is on your money
My name is Paul Bogle
Today, I'm just a prisoner
One day, I'll be a hero
Some may suffer, some may burn (yeah)
But I know that one day (I know that one day)
My children gonna learn (my children gonna learn)
As sure as the sun shines, way up in the sky (way up in the sky)
Today I stand here a victim, truth is I'll never die
96 degrees (ooh-ooh, eh, eh) in the shade (eh)
Real hot (burnin', burnin', burnin') in the shade
Eh, 96 degrees in the shade
Real hot (oh, yes) in the shade
Hopped up in the shade (in the shade, yeah)
Eh, ska-ba-doo-doo-doo (yeah, yeah)
It's 96 degrees in the shade
Eh, I say burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin' in the shade
Rise on to it, yeah, ooh-ooh
In the shade (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, oh-ah, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah)
My heart is, my heart is, my heart is, my heart is
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot (oh, yes) in the shade
