lyrics

Out in these new places you will seldom find
He was the old rocksteady archetype
The only state of mind
And he was calling out
Wailing away
He was moving all of the time
Right back to orange street
He’s scatting in that strange style

He was the King of the Ska
No matter where, where you are
And he would crash the dance halls
Yelling scatter
And they would run

So get out of his way before you get rail-trained
Or just call it an oversight
A marginal life
So you would roll up stoned and get away
Get out and over to that real real dance space

He was the King of the Ska
No matter where, where you are
And he would crash the dance halls
Yelling scatter
And they would run

So remember the King as he was
That slack-beating rude boy
The censored one
It was that madness above it all
That claimed him his title
One step beyond

He was the King of the Ska
No matter where, where you are
And he would crash the dance halls
Yelling scatter
And they would run
