THE HARDER THEY COME

[MandaLaJusto]

Great song, are you sure its not while they were dancing in the BALL room last night? Whatever, I'm perfectly ok with mumbling my way through this song... cause it's that great.

[pinky5446]

could be I guess,i'ts a while since I did this now and the funny thing is right at the end of the song(1.10) it says ball room on the lyrics,so I may have been in 2 minds myself!

[eamcas67]

These lyrics are nothing like I've been singing, usually after a few beers, for the past 25 years. I aint no Toots but I still prefer my version. After me " one more piece of the wedding cake plenky bokkle ah cola wine"

[MrTelaviv123]

I have been listening to this song for years, but up to now I haven't the faintest clue what the lyrics is all about. For years I have been singing the line "its a perfect wonder" . Great song though. The harmonies is ridiculous

[killgloriaaroyo]

Etty in the room a cry Mama say she must wipe her eye Papa say she no fi foolish like She never been to school at all It is no wonder Its a perfect ponder Why they were dancing in that bar room last night Johnson in the room a fret Uncle say he must hold up him head Aunty say she no fi foolish Like its no time fe his wedding day It is no wonder Its a perfect ponder Why they were dancing in that bar room last night One pound ten for the wedding cake Plenty bottle of cola wine

@redhills1971 a teenager!? ha ha. Man, I was like two (ok about 5). But those were the days. We were poor but so rich in other ways. Good food, clean water, nice rivers and beaches, running bare feet on 100 degrees F asphalt like it ain't nuthin. ha haa.

[redhills1971]

Oh man, such a great song and brings back fond memories of being a teenager in Kingston.

[redhills1971]

All I know is that it brings back memories of happier days in Kingston when I was a teenager, my cousins and I use to sing and dance to this when it first came out. Love Toots and the Maytals

The way they harmonise, you can tell they had worked together for a while. Pure quality!

The wedding cake cost 1.10 and the people who are all dressed in white are ready to eat all that cake.(Known as The Johnston's Cake Bcus they will be married)

The Wedding will happen And btw did you see the couple dancing in The Bar-Room last night.

They were Sweet & Dandy
