Yalla Yalla - Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros

Well, so long, liberty

Let’s forget you didn’t show, not in my time

But in our sons' and daughters' time, when you get the feeling

Call and you got a room, meantime

We’re cutting our hands at the kebab shop in the streets of fear

Forgetting all our best tai-kwon-do moves on a barrel of beer

We’re trying to get a signal out of ragga FM, do the DTI, buzz CNN

Sucking the wine right out of the vine, spitting it out again

Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'

Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'

Drive, drive

Distance no object, rastafari

Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalla

Yalla, yalla, yalla yo

Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalla

Jambalaya on the bayou

Kool Moe Dee was in The Treacherous Three

There’s old school, new school, and Brownie McGee

Going underwater to explode

Now night is falling on the grove

You can but dream…

And I hear yalla, yalla, yalla, yalla

Yalla, yalla, yalla yo

Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalla

Jambalaya on the bayou

Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalla

Yalla, yalla, yalla yo

Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalla

There’s jambalaya on the bayou tonight in the grove

Well, so long, liberty

Just let’s forget you never showed, not in my time

But in our sons' and daughters' time, when you get the feeling

Call and you got a room, meantime

We’re cutting our hands on the kebab shop in the streets of fear

Forgetting all our best tai-kwon-do moves on a barrel of beer

Trying to get a signal through from ragga FM, do the DTI, buzz CNN

Sucking the swine right out of the vine, I’m spitting it back again

Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'

Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'

Drive, drive

Distance no object, rastafari

Somebody got a vision of a homeland

From a township, from a township window

Through a township window, some crazy widow

Dares to have a vision, starts seething like

Seeming like a homeland on the plain

Not in focus yet

Seeming like a homeland on the plain

Not in focus yet

I’m groovin' with a free style nation

And maximum density

And I say yalla, yalla, yalla, yalla

Yalla, yalla, yalla yo

Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalla

Jambalaya on the bayou

Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalla

Yalla, yalla, yalla yo

Yalla, yalla, yalla, yalla

Only to shine, shine in gold, shine
