Pablo's Shebeen - The Toasters

There used to be a shebeen

Next to the laundry mat where I used to live

In London town, in London town

If you know what I mean

And there was an old man

Who used to bring up the sounds

And he kept those beats, he kept those beats

From when Prince Buster was around

Well now this old man Georgie

Was well respected in the days of old

And when Prince Buster would play

He’d skank old night and leave the London cold

Now with the Vespa’s outside

And with a rude girl I was rocking steady, steadily steadily

And we would skank to the morning

Cause that’s the way we do in the London city

So I say, if you can

Come on and get up and skank

If your a rude boy do some drop legs with me

If you can, if you can

It’s quite easy, just pump your feet and do it cool and deadly!

There used to be a shebeen

Beside the laundry mat where I used to live

In London town

And on a Saturday night

Old man Georgie would string up the sound

Yes he would, yes he would

And I said, just for a pound a

Said you could get in and drop legs all night, all night, all night

And if there wasn’t a fight, then everyone would be feeling alright

So I say if you can

Come on and get up and skank

If your a rude boy do some drop legs with me

If you can if you can

It’s quite easy

Just pump your feet and keep it cool and deadly

If you can if you can…
