Tekster: Mustard Plug. Skank By Numbers.

One! Get off your seat
Two! Stomp your boots to the beat
Three! Throw your knees in the air
Four! Like you don't care

We don't want to see you slammin' in the pit, NO
We don't want to see our girlfriends kicked, NO
We just want to see you movin' faster and faster
To the beat of the super ska master
Phonys like to slam to the beat of ska
We're not against that, but for us there's more
To dance with us you needn't act like a jerk
Skankin's meant for fun, not for getting hurt

Skankin' by numbers every night and day
Skankin' by numbers is the only way
Get off your seat and take a chance
Skankin' by numbers is the only way to dance

You can shave your head or pierce your nose, NOSE
Dress up in flannels or rudeboy clothes, CLOTHES
But where it matters is with your shoes
That's where ska's for your stylin' moves
Skankin' aint just dancing it's our way of life
Away from trouble, away from strife
Afraid of fun? Then you had better beware
Because on the dance floor, we don't have a care

One! Get off your seat
Two! Stomp your boots to the beat
Three! Throw your knees in the air
Four! Like you don't care

Time to hit the floor, do it soon, SOON
Ska music's set to fill the room, ROOM
Have never skanked? Well it's time to start
Soon you will be a rudeboy hot
Finally we'd like to stop and thank our roots
Respect the Specials, Maytals, and Toots
Wailing Wailers, Laurel Aitken,and (english) Beat
But most of all the Skatalites, they're music complete

Skankin' by numbers every night and day
Skankin' by numbers is the only way
Get off your seat and take a chance
Skankin' by numbers is the only way to dance

One! Get off your seat
Two! Stomp your boots to the beat
Three! Throw your knees in the air
Four! Like you don't care
