Oh oh seven
Oh oh seven
At ocean eleven

Dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a wail ( a shanty town )
An' rudeboys out on probation ( a shanty town )
An' rudeboy bomb up de town ( a shanty town )
Oh oh seven

At ocean eleven

'cause them out of jail
Rudeboys cannot fail
'cause them must get bail
Dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a wail ( a shanty town )

De rudeboys a weep an' a wail ( a shanty town )
