D.U.B.

When me reach me yard

Me got one thing on me mind,

To hold me little woman

And fe make her feel iree.

Be play album, dub plate, and forty-five

For dat's the kind of riddim that keeps me alive.

Me turn on fe me radio

Some a chat 'bout dat

But I know more than d.j.

So I nah play you dat.

(chorus)

Me tek a 'd' and a 'u'

An' a 'b' - not 'e'

That thing there

Is special to me.

Me listen in the morning

Also in the night

For dat form of music

Is outasight.

The newest form of music

Is easy to see

It start with a 'd'

And end with a 'b'

Dub in a de morning

And dub in a de night

Mek the whole neighbourhood

Feel alright, feel alright

When me reach me yard

Me got one thing on me mind,

To hold me little woman

And fe mek her fell iree.

When me reach me yard

Me got one thing on me mind,

To hold me little woman

And fe mek her fell iree.

Me tek a 'd' and a 'u'

An' a 'b' - not 'e'

That thing there

Is special to me.

Me listen in the morning

Also in the night

For dat form of music

Is outasight.

The newest form of music

Is easy to see

It start with a 'd'

And end with a 'b'

Dub in a de morning

And dub in a de night

Mek the whole neighborhood

Feel alright, feel alright

Rock in a de dance

Me seh fe give dub a chance,

Rock in de blues

You know you jus' can't lose.

A dub me a defend

On dub I can depend

Check out dis yah music

And run tell yo' friend.

We don't want rock 'n' roll

And we got enough soul,

We don't want rock 'n' roll

And we got enough soul.

Bass is beautiful

If it's clean,

But dis yah dub music

Man, it well mean.

No bother follow friend

And ignore dub again.

It's simple, but effective

Can't you see?

A lot of people catch on in 'eight-three.

Now is 'eighty-four

And you must know the score,

Anything me chat, you know

The people bawl 'more.'

Me jump 'pon de graphics

Don't get vex'

All me have

A total concept

To make you feel

Iree.

To make you feel

Iree.
