The third wave of ska well it's here today
We're steppin' it back the Jamaican way
The old school is heard from the East to the West
Its got the beat, the beat we like best
This joint is jumpin -oooh yeah (3x)
This joint is jumpin, jumpin
Well some like it fast with a hard-core sound
And some like it funky and low to the ground
But we like it best when it comes through true
The rhythm of ska always endures.
Repeat chorus 1
So get off your seat and dance to the beat
If your spring winds down, have you a seat
It won't be long before you have to move
Pork Pie Tribe will move your groove
This joint is jumpin' -oooh yeah (3x)
This join is jumpin', jumpin', jumpin' around.
Well don't be a wallflower
Don't just stand there
With your arms crossed
wonderin' if we're cool.
We're six fancy lads who like to dress rude
We love a chance to put on our suits
With inch wide ties and porkpie hats
When we're out we always look our best
Chorus 1
Well ska is alive and well today
It never died out or faded away
Teeny-boppers like it and older folks too
You're never too young or old to be rude.
Chorus 1
When white and black can respect each other
Different kinds of people can come together
The checker board is our symbol of peace
Let ignorance die and peace increase.
Chorus 2
