- Ali Baba
My dream last night was about Ali Baba
With the forty thieves
Tom, Tom, the piper's son,
he was there with me
I rode through the valley with the princess by my side
The Duke and the Duchess was there to meet me with a smile
- If I Were A Carpenter
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
If a tinker were my trade would you still find me
Carrying the pots I'd made
Following behind me
- Killing Me Softly With His Song
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
- Man Next Door
There is a man that live next door in my neighborhood
In my neighborhood and he gets me down...
He gets in so late at night always a fuss and fight
Always a fuss and fight all through the night
I've got to get away from here, this is not a place for me to stay
I've got to take my family, we'll find a quiet place
- Mr Big Stuff
Sister big stuff
Who do you think you are?
Sister big stuff
You're never gonna get my love
Not because yo' wear
All those fancy clothes
Drive around a big fine car
- Never Let Me Go
Just me let me love you tonight
Forget about tomorrow
My darling, won't you hold me tight?
And never let me go
Dry your eyes, no tears, no sorrows
Cling to me with all your might
And never let me go
- Police in Helicopter
Yes boss, yes boss, yes boss, yes boss...
Police in helicopter, a search fi marijuana.
Police man in d streets, searching fi collie weed.
Soldiers in d field, burnin d collie weed.
But if you continue to burn up d herbs, we gonna burn down d cane fields.
If you continue to burn up d herbs, we gonna burn down d cane fields.
Soldier in d herb field, burnin d collie weed.
- Riding For A Fall
Someday someone will make you cry yeah, yeah
Then you’ll gonna have tear drops in your eyes no, no
So go ahead and have your fun girl
Don’t you know I'm still in love with you girl
Go ahead and have yourself a ball
You’re riding for a fall (watch it)
Someday somebody will break your heart
(You got to look for your judgment as I would tell ya)
- Strange Things
Strange things happen on a Friday night,
Girls meets boys,
there's a lot of loving and kissing,
under the golden moon there shines a silver light,
oh I'd like to be one of them,
but I'm just a wandering sheep,
a wandering sheep on this island,
with no one to love me,
- Too Good to Be Forgotten
Too good to be forgotten
Too good to be forgotten.
Benny was a boy I met while walking home one day
He made me forget my marbles
He said he had another game to play.
One thing led to another
- Touch Me In The Morning
Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow
But we had yesterday
(Hey!)
Wasn't it me who said that
Nothing good's gonna last forever?
- Up Park Camp

You know they taught me the golden rule.
They say: "Son you better know yourself,
Because in times to come it's going to be dread."
An' now me gone a Up Park Camp,
Me neva waan go a Up Park Camp.
An' now me gone a Up Park Camp,
- Wear You To The Ball
I'm gonna wear you to the ball tonight
Put on your best dress tonight
Did you hear what the man said baby
Well be your best 'cause this
gonna be a musical test
So come to school, and I take up the musical rule
Give me soul brothers and give me soul sisters
