Rude Boys Back In Town Lyrics - All Rebel Rockers - Michael Franti

So unique! 

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 

The rude boys back in town 

(Rude boys) 

The rude boys back in town 

(Rude boys) 

I tell ya that the rude boys back in town 

(Rude boys) 

The rude boys back in town 

See I was walkin' down the street about a quarter to four 

It was early in the mornin' from the night before 

Met a woman on the corner said to come in my door 

Heard the rhythm of the music pumpin' up through floor 

When I walk into the party it was ready to go 

There were punk rockers, reggae rockers all in a row 

Windin' and a grindin' to the dj show 

And the woman from the corner I was gettin' to know 

The rude boys back in town 

(Rude boys) 

The rude boys back in town 

(Rude boys) 

I tell ya that the rude boys back in town 

(Rude boys) 

The rude boys back in town 

(Rude boys) 

I see ya whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 

(Rude boys) 

Whoa whoa whoa, whoa 

(Rude boys) 

Whoa whoa whoa, whoa 

(Rude boys) 

Damn, I say Micheal Michael where you been? 

You been eatin' alright? You know you look a little thin 

I been out in Japan, just chilln' Tokyo man 

I toked up on the train to Hiroshima and then 

I jump into the water and I started to swim 

Shanghai, Ho Chi Minh City and then 

Darundi, Indonesia where I hooked with some friends 

I visit Tme Iti down in Thoe again 

I jumped across the Byron out of springs 

Down to Cape Town where I be doing my thing 

Then I be gone to Uganda, Tanzania 

Off to Sudan and glad to see 'em 

Jerusalem, Mumbai, Istanbul 

Then down to Rio, So Paolo Brazil 

Up to Guadalajara, Kingston Way 

Stop off in Havana and I'm back to the bay 

The rude boys back in town 

(Rude boys) 

The rude boys back in town 

(Rude boys) 

I tell ya that the rude boys back in town 

(Rude boys) 

The rude boys back in town 

(Rude boys) 

We callin' out 

From itune underground 

We come to tell you 

The rude boys back in town 

Are you rockin' rockin'? 

(Rockin', rockin') 

Are you rollin' rollin'? 

(Rollin', rollin') 

Are you whinin', whinin'? 

(Whinin', whinin') 

Are you grindin' grindin'? 

(Grindin', grindin') 

Do you wanna rock a party to the mornin' mornin'? 

(Yeah, we wanna rock a party to the mornin' mornin') 

When the police comin' in give a warnin' warnin' 

(When the police comin' in we give da warnin' warnin') 

I'm the drummer but of' I like to pick up a mic 

And when I rock a party you can do what you like 

Get ready for the rhythm where we come into sight 

From L.A. in the morning, we no stop with the light 

All night long we just rockin' along 

Dance to the dj we be singin' a song 

Ode to your lover if your lovin' is strong 

Dance to the bass line all night long 

The rude boys back in town 

The rude boys back in town 

Let me tell ya that the rude boys back in town 

So unique! The rude boys back in town 

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 

So unique 

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 

So unique 

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 

So unique 

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 

So unique 

The rude boys back in town 

(Rude boys)
