Chuck Berry

de The Toasters

Forty years ago
there was a Jumpin' Jazz Jamaica scene
They could hear these tunes
drifting down from New Orleans

They put the two together
in a thing they called Ska
And sent it off to England
in the back of Laurel Aiken's car

It was 1964
and the rhythm just wouldn't stop,
People banging on the door
to hear "My boy Lollipop"

Then the 70's came
and with it the 2 Tone scene...
People shakin' their heads
at the rudies on the record machine

Now the 90's are here
with the new bands bringin'it to you
Skins and rudies
and even some punk rock, too!

But the boys are still playing
and the music is coming out live!
Down at your jukebox,
dancing on a Saturday night!

In their eyes
where does Chuck Berry fit?
Well he influences the Ska,
that's the long and the short of it

He played his guitar
and they heard it on the radio.
And the rest is history,
is just as everybody knows...

Forty years ago
there was a Jumpin' Jazz Jamaica scene
You can check them rudies
dancing at the record machine

The style is timeless,
with Fred Perry and Doc Marten boots...
You can keep dancing,
just as long as you remember your roots

You can keep rocking,
just as long as you remember your roots
You can keep dancing,
just as long as you remember your roots
