Rushden road Margarita danced
"blow Don D blow" she said like inna trance
she was de queen of de rumba beat
he was de troubled man of de ska beat.
On new year's eve inna Johnsontown
de Skatalites played from dusk till dawn
wrong medication plus depression
blood on de floor whappened troubled Don?

Stabbed in di chest convicted murderer
she met her death when she met her lover
"open di door fi me open Junie!"
di clock stroke four...end of di story.
Inna Bellevue, home of lunatics,
di doctor kicked Don Cosmic so sick
di musical prophet sowed de seeds
a precious sound's now rulin' de streets

Traditional song from South Africa.
