Master Blaster (Live from The Concert for a New South Africa)
...long time
Come on, You've been waiting for this for a long time!
Put your hands together!, come on
This is your party!
Everyone's feeling pretty
It's hotter than July
Though the world's full of problems
They couldn't touch us even if they try
From the park I hear rhythms
Marley's hot on the box
Tonight there will be a party
Right here in Ellis Park
Didn't know you
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
Bet you nobody ever told you that you
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
You Would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin', jam on
Eh, Eh, Ah
They want us to join their fighting
But our answer today
Is to let all our worries
Like the breeze through our fingers slip away
Peace has come to Zimbabwe
Third World's right on the one
Now's the time for celebration
We've only just begun
Didn't know that you
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
See nobody ever told you that you
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn, Ooh, oh
They told me that you
Oh, don't you stop the lovin' no, no
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Don't stop the love... Don't stop your love... Don't stop the lovin'
Ooh, oh
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Ah, ah, ah, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Ahh-Ah you might as well believe what you are feelin'
Is ya body's jammin Ah, Oh!
