My Grandaddy Could Reggae Lyrics - Linda Lewis

Watch it 

My grandaddy could reggae 

Before the radio, day-o 

Black boy drum with blue beat 

All the way back home 

He reggae with his wife 

He reggae all his life 

He reggae to the pub 

And he reggae in the tub 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) ska ra 

(ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) down in flamingo 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) down in juke club 

(Ska-a, ska-a-a) 

(Ska-a, ska-a-a) 

My grandaddy could reggae 

Before the Rock 'N' Roll 

Brown skin brother boogie 

Like you never know 

I show my man his stuff 

He just can't get enough 

If you want to reggae right, 

All you do is squeeze her tight 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) ska ra 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) ska-a-a-a-a 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) ska ra 

(Ska-a, ska-a-a) ska ra, ra, ra 

(Ska-a, ska-a-a) 

And all you Caribbean kings and queens 

And Patois people, too 

Will understand me when I say 

Reggae is good for you, ooh 

It's good for you 

My grandaddy could reggae 

Before the hi, hi-fi 

Before it was a twinkle 

In your mommy's eye 

It ain't no mystery 

My mama, she sing to me 

It's the rhythm in your heart 

Makes you feel good from the start 

Start now with the ska ra 

Ska ra, ra, ra 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) to ska ra 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) do do do do do do do 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) you can do it, too 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) ska ra 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) just let it ska ra 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) cha cha cha cha cha cha 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a) 

(Ska-a-a-a, ska-a-a)
