When I was young I used to sing this at the top of mi voice not realising what the lyrics meant!! My Mum was a Hungarian immigrant and never understood to correct me! Oh innocence of youth....

[frielAP]

this is interesting - absurd and excellent at the same time -PLEASE LISTEN THRU TO THE INSTRUMENTAL PART !

[CockneyRebel1979]

Blimey, they sing how I talk! :)

I thought this song was funny... Probably the first "chav record"... Nowadays I would imagine these birds would hang out at Lakeside Centre and things like "'e's gonna hav bands on his teef"

[tirnaog09]

Jonathan King was behind this song. Now sadly a disgraced paedophile! How innocence is lost.....

[Edielee1]

[dickdickensen]

This came out when I joined the Army as a young Boy Soldier aged 15 in 1971. Thing was, I come from Scotland and never even heard of Reggae and the English guys tried to explain it to me .... laugh or what.
