Don't you be scared, stop acting weird.
Soon we shall meet.On Orange Street, the music is sweet, I've got the beat.
You've heard the news all night.
Now don't you run away.

Ooooohooh sweet beat, shaking up Orange Street.
Ooooohooh sweet beat, rocking down Orange Street.
Ooooohooh sweet beat.

There is nothing to conquer, Buster wears the honor.
My crown they can't wear, it ago put them in fear.
If dem slip up dem slide.
If dem run dem can't hide.
Cause I've got a whip.
Stuck right in my hip.
I tell them

Ooooohooh sweet beat, shaking up Orange Street.
Ooooohooh sweet beat, rocking down Orange Street.

I'm coming in the east.
I'm facing the east.
Don't get upset, you ago live to regret.
You must show me respect and don't you forget that like a fish in the sea you are caught in my net and
I tell them

Ooooohooh sweet beat, shaking up Orange Street.
Ooooohooh sweet beat, rocking down Orange Street.

There is nothing to conquer, Buster wears the honor.
My crown they can't wear, it ago put them in fear.
If dem slip up dem slide.
If dem run dem can't hide.
Cause I've got a whip.
Stuck right in my hip.
I tell them

Ooooohooh sweet beat, shaking up Orange Street.
Ooooohooh sweet beat, rocking down Orange Street.

There was a man called Duke Reid with guns up his sleeve.
Tried to put me out.
I made him run and shout.
Coxsone then come, quick quick mi lick him dung
Dem send fi King Edwards but like the best I took his throne
