Folitician Lyrics - Ub40

Hey Folitician, me seh hey folitician 

Me seh hey folitician 

Mek you go long so. 

Hey folitician, me seh hey folitician 

Me seh hey folitician 

Mek you go long so. 

You come chatty chatty chatty run up you' mouth, 

You come chatty chatty chatty run up you' mouth, 

One man, one vote you hear from the shout. 

One man, one vote you hear from the shout. 

You full of pure promise but you tell damn' lies; 

You full of pure promise but you tell damn' lies; 

You make a mistake And then somebody dies. 

You make a mistake And then somebody dies. 

Hey folitician, me seh hey folitician 

Me seh hey folitician 

What you doin 'bout the slums? 

You sit around all day, jus' a twiddle your thumbs; 

You have a strange expression 

Mek you look like you' dumb. 

Mek you look like you' dumb. 

You worry everybody 'til you put them in a box. 

You worry everybody 'til you put them in a box. 

Dub freak gone 

Gone go check him record shop, 

Gone go check him record stock. 

Him climb upon the box 

Him said him got to reach the top; 

Him climb upon the shelf 

Him seh you take care yourself. 

Him dance upon the floor 

Him said a music galore 

Him said a music galore. 

Dub freak, dub freak 

Deh 'pon the go; 

Say you never know 

Because I told you so. 

Sippa, sippa, sippa, sippa, lightning crash; 

Sippa, sippa, sippa, sippa, lightning crash; 

Drummer 'pon him drum, him jus' a play mish-mash. 

Drummer 'pon him drum, him jus' a play mish-mash. 

Keyboards in the middle jus'a jump and twiddle. 

Keyboards in the middle jus'a jump and twiddle. 

Rhythm over here an' me seh rhythm over there, 

Don't stop and stare because the rhythm gone clear. 

Dub freak, dub freak, in a dub freak style 

Dub freak, dub freak, still a running wild. 

Him start from the bottom 'til him reach up the top 

Him keep on rocking and him never stop. 

Wow and flutter, music jus' 

a run like butter. 

a run like butter. 

Dub a slip an' slide 

Dub a slip an' slide 

Dub a slip an' slide, 

He can't find nowhere to hide.
