remember all the pretty girls you wanted to kiss
and all those parties that you miss
think of all the jokes you never understood
remember all these brilliant scenes of movies that you never seen
cause life is almost ruder
than you could ever be
so we hope this funny minor tune
will bring you in a skanking mood
The Busters say “skank down!”
skank down!
you always look dumber than you really are
and everytime you produce yourself, it’s clear you are no star
all these honest things you try – it’s all in vain
cause your destiny in this world is to skank the ska
life is almost ruder
than you could ever be
so we hope this funny minor tune
will bring you in a skanking mood
The Busters say “skank down!”
skank down!
remember all the pretty girls you wanted to kiss
and all those parties that you miss
think of all the jokes you never understood
remember all these brilliant scenes of movies that you never seen
life is almost ruder
than you could ever be
so we hope this funny minor tune
will bring you in a skanking mood
The Busters say “skank down!”
skank down!
skank down!
skank down!
life is almost ruder
than you could ever be
so we hope this funny minor tune
will bring you in a skanking mood
The Busters say “skank down!”
skank down!
skank down!
skank down!

i don’t like your music
i don’t like your style
skip away your cheap tricks
and wash away your smile
when you explain your dresscodes
your politics, your life
and when i read your lips
your own is hard to find
it’s always the same old movie
the same old same old
your taste is recycled
you can’t stand away from the crowd
i don’t like your music
i don’t like your style
skip away your cheap tricks
and wash away your smile
don’t bore me with your credit card
your BMW
don’t try to impress me
you’re fooling only you
it’s always the same old movie
the same old same old
your taste is recycled
you can’t stand away from the crowd
i don’t like your music
i don’t like your style
skip away your cheap tricks
and wash away your smile
hey, mr. businessman
don’t try to be like me
i’ve got my own world
so i won’t copy you
it’s always the same old movie
the same old same old
your taste is recycled
you can’t stand away
you can’t stand away
you can’t stand away from the crowd

you say you’re in – and you’re out
i can’t trust you there’s no doubt
when you say you call me i can’t be sure you don’t
you say you’re sick – when you’re well
you say you love me and you sell
the ring i gave you, and what’s this all about
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
oooh, i can’t take this anymore
you say you drive and then you drink
you say my best friend is a wimp
and then i find his wallet in your car
you say you never go out at night
but when we go out side by side
they know your name in every bar
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
oooh, i can’t take this anymore
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
oooh, i can’t take this anymore
you say you’re in – and you’re out
i can’t trust you there’s no doubt
when you say you call me i can’t be sure you don’t
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
oooh, i can’t take this anymore
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
oooh, i can’t take this anymore
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door
i wanna know what’s going on behind your door

where all the scooters rollin’ on friday night
have you seen the rude girls – they look alright
c’mon everybody get up on your feet
The Busters are in town
there’s gonna be a big stompede
stompede
see the best tattoos and the nicest girls
see the biggest braces and some wet wet t-shirts
see the rude boys stomp to the rocksteady beat
The Busters are in town
there’s gonna be a big stompede
stompede
time to dance and have some fun
no reaon to fight with anyone
we need some cold beer for this hot band
c’mon everybody to the big, big stompede
stompede
so bring your friend – let’s dance all night
we’re gonna have a party – it can’t be denied
let’s live it up, let’s boogie down
we’re gonna make some noise in this sleepy town
cold girls, warm beer, wild animals on stage
we’ve been on tour since the captain left his cage
so bring some diesel if you run out of beer
The Busters are in town
there’s gonna be a big stompede
stompede
there’s gonna be a big stompede

some people got no rhythm
some people can’t move
but i can’t stand still
when i feel that groove
it feels so nice
the heat is melting the ice
when i’m in trouble night and day
i just skank my blues away
skank my blues away
girl you are so young
and you are so sweet
i show you how to move
to the rocksteady beat
it feels so nice
the heat is melting the ice
when i’m in trouble night and day
i just skank my blues away

monday night when i come home
i call my baby on the phone
i say “i’m longing to see you, babe,
maybe, we can fix a date”
she says: no, no i can’t do that
i have to work and then i got to bed
maybe tomorrow maybe next week

i’m shouting and banging on her door
till my fingers bleed and my knees are sore
she says: no, no i can’t do that
i have to work and then i got to bed
maybe tomorrow maybe next week
we’ll be dancing cheek to cheek
she’s too busy to dance
she’s too busy to kiss

and then i kiss her pretty sister

i can’t go home cause rosita will dance tonight
i can’t go home cause rosita will dance tonight
woke up this morning too tired to move
gotta keep working or i’m gonna lose my job
three kids to feed and their mother’s gone
way up north now i’m all alone - can’t stop
my tears from filling up my empty glass
josé’s sitting next to me and he says
i can’t go home cause rosita will dance tonight
i can’t go home cause rosita will dance tonight
rosita is a girl she makes you feel funny
makes your troubles go away and also your money
i can’t go home cause rosita will dance tonight
josé want to cross the border some day
hit the big time in the USA – he says
he’ll find my wife and bring her back
one day he’ll show up with a cadillac
but everytime they caught him
he came back on his feet
and now we’re sitting here unable to leave
i can’t go home cause rosita will dance tonight
i can’t go home cause rosita will dance tonight
rosita is a girl she makes you feel funny
makes your troubles go away and also your money
i can’t go home cause rosita will dance tonight
i can’t go home cause rosita will dance
i can’t go home cause rosita will dance
i can’t go home cause rosita will dance
i can’t go home cause rosita will dance
i can’t go home cause rosita will dance
i can’t go home cause rosita will dance

you did me wrong
when you should have treated me right
girl you’re gonna miss me
when i’m outta sight
no word is strong enough
for the pain inside my heart
you treated me just like a slave
and tore my soul apart
you broke my heart too many times
a piece of gold was in your hand
you took it for a dime
you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me
you were so busy
counting my mistakes
i’ve never been an underdog
but when you know that it’s too late
you broke my heart – too many times
a piece of gold was in your hand
you took it for a dime
you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me
you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me
you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me
you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me
you broke my heart – too many times
a piece of gold was in your hand
you took it for a dime
you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me
you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me
you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me
you were too blind to see
the good things that you had in me

i hope to find out of the silly situation
but it’s difficult to pretend
i’m looking forward to an honest salvation
but it’s so hard to send
she’s the woman i need so badly
i can’t forget her smile
you and me on a thin line
i guess that we can’t lose our minds
a thousand horses running in my soul
can’t see the sunlight and the moon
i can feel that in my life there’s a hole
and the music had just begun
she’s the woman i need so badly
i can’t forget her smile
you and me on a thin line
i guess that we can’t lose our minds
she’s the woman i need so badly
i can’t forget her smile
you and me on a thin line
i guess that we can’t lose our minds
she’s the woman i need so badly
i can’t forget her smile

if the one you love loves somebody else
if you feel you’re in the middle of hell
if you’re down and out and your heart is broken, too
why don’t so smile, oh smile
if the pain is so strong that no painkiller works
you would have cancelled your birth if you’d known it hurts
when you’re trembling and freezing and your heart is an icecube
smile, ooh smile
smile when you feel like crying
smile when you feel like dying
smile cause your value’s increasing
if you got that million dollar smile on your face
smile you’ve got friends when you’re happy
smile if you’re in trouble don’t tell me
being out of luck is a contagious disease
cause your goddam job in this world is to please everyone
everyone
don’t let nobody know how you’re feelin’ inside
cause the reaction you get might hurt your pride
sadness is welcome on records and movies
if you work nine to five, you won’t get any groupies
if the pain is so strong that no painkiller works
you would have cancelled your birth if you’d known it hurts
when you’re trembling and freezing cause your heart is an icecube
smile, ooh smile
smile when you feel like crying
smile when you feel like dying
smile cause your value’s increasing
if you got that million dollar smile on your face
smile you’ve got friends when you’re happy

they tell you this they tell you that
they say what’s good and what is bad
but you are alone
when their device turns out to be wrong
you might see things differently
but people turns to enemies
when you do things your way
break the spell and you’ll be strong
free man or slave – it’s up to you
be yourself and play the game no matter what you do
do ya thang – running against the wind
young and strong – stay rude and you can’t go wrong
do ya thang – running against the wind
young and strong – stay rude and you can’t go wrong
everybody’s darling
or everybody’s fool
are you gonna follow
are you gonna rule
some people always listen
some people always talk
some people live like mice
some are free just like hawks
free man or slave – it’s up to you
be yourself and play the game no matter what you do
do ya thang – running against the wind
young and strong – stay rude and you can’t go wrong
do ya thang – running against the wind

luana – why did you leave me?
we looked so good together
everybody thought it was forever
but you made up your mind for someone else…
my car and you were my pride and joy
my favourite toys
i could already hear the wedding bells
but your best friend told you
you deserved someone better
and so one morning
i found your letter (letter)
luana – why did you leave me?
luana – i loved you so
but you never believed me
i knew every guy wanted you
you were like a wet dream come true
how i could you ever believe
that i didn’t love you
but your best friend told you
you deserved someone better
and so one morning
i found your letter (letter)
luana – why did you leave me?
luana – i loved you so
