Desmond Dekker - King of ska

King of ska

Take your time, take time for the king is back
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back

Don't rush it, man, you will surely lose it
I am going to burn your skin like a blazing fire

So take your time, take time for the king is back
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back

I want you to know who's the king of the ska
The king of the ska is right here on top

So take your time, take time for the king is back
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top
The king is back, right here, and he's right on top

Take your time, take time for the king is back
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back

I want you to know who's the king of the ska
The king of the ska is right here on top

So take your time, take time for the king is back
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top
The king is back, right here, and he's right on top

Prince Buster & The Skatalites - King of Kings

King of kings

Lion says, I am king and I reign
Lion says, I am king in this range
No more kings must be in this backyard
Lion says, I am king and I reign

Elephant says, I am king 'cause I'm strong
Giraffe says, I am king 'cause my neck is long
There's no doubt that they are all wrong
Lion says, I am king 'cause I'm double strong

I'm king of kings, lord of lords in this land
No more bad hearts to any of you 'cause I'm king
From the beginning, created king
Lion says, I am king and I reign
