The Boom Boom Bap - Scritti Politti

The boom boom bap

the tap-a-tap-tap

That’s the beat of my life.

A wee hard drop

Oh Poppa don’t stop

bittersweet about life.

You know the bar room belles, well they’re calling

you know their perfume smells like blood.

If hooks could kill

singing dollar-dollar bill

Well that’s the beat of my life.

Zig-a-boom kick

Jimmy-jink lick

that’s the beat of my heart.

A come-again cut

oh but telling you what

that’s the bitterest part.

You know the bar room boys

well they’ve fallen

and juice-joint Jane got high.

If hooks could kill

singing dollar-dollar bill

on the street of my heart.

To the beat, to the beat, to the beat

play it over and over again

Play it over and over again

Let me know, let me know, let me know

I am yours and I’m ready to go.

The yes-yes-y'all

Was the siren call

to come around to my life

They said big beat drum

here a kitty come come

that’s the sound of my life

The brewski point was calling

I got belly washed blood in my heart

The boom boom bap

the tap a tap tap

Its always dark

I’ll wait till December baby

I’ll wait till my hands stay still

And then in December baby

I’m in for the cure or kill
