about

version of Jamaica's biggest song of 1967, the prize winning rock-steady smash by THE JAMAICANS, released on the Treasure Isle label.

lyrics

BA BA BOOM The Jamaicans

Everybody get ready
it's time to rocksteady
it's ba ba boom time, yes it is
|
don't lose the beat, now
just dip your hip, now
it's festival fire, listen here
you hear the people saying

Boom boom, ba ba boom boom
Boom boom festival
Boom boom, ba ba boom boom
Boom boom festival
Boom boom, ba ba boom boom
Boom boom festival
Boom boom, ba ba boom boom

2
People are dancing
teenagers romancing
it's ba ba boom time, listen here
Freddie get ready
come do the rocksteady
it's ba ba boom time, listen here
you hear the people saying

Boom boom, ba ba boom boom
Boom boom festival
Boom boom, ba ba boom boom
Boom boom festival
Boom boom, ba ba boom boom
Boom boom festival
Boom boom, ba ba boom boom
