Well, I just got back an' I wish I never leave now (where'd ya go?) Who dat Martian arrival at the airport yeah? (where'd ya go?) How many local dollars for a local anaesthetic? (where'd ya go?) The Johnny on the corner wasn't very sympathetic (where'd ya go?)
[Chorus:] I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery Sitting here in my safe European home Don't wanna go back there again.
Wasn't lucky an' wouldn't it be loverly? (where'd ya go?) Send us all cards, an' have a laying in on a Sunday (where'd ya go?) I was there for two weeks, so how come I never tell now (where'd ya go?) That Natty Dread drinks at the Sheraton Hotel now (where'd ya go?)
[Chorus]
They got the sun, an' they got the palm trees (where'd ya go?) They got the weed, an' they got the taxes (where'd ya go?) Whoa, The Harder They Come, an' the home of ol' bluebeat (where'd ya go?) I'd stay an' be a tourist but I can't take the gunplay (where'd ya go?)
[Chorus]
Rudie come From Jamaica Cos Rudie can't fail Cos Rudie come From Jamaica Rudie can't fail Rudie come From Jamaica Cos Rudie can't fail Cos Rudie come From Jamaica Rudie can't fail Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie Rudie can't fail Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie Rudie can't fail
Cos Rudie's went there And Rudie's lived there And Rudie come back, come back now
And Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie Come back, come on now oh now
Explosive! (Rudie come on, Rudie, Rudie... Rudie can't fail...) You're day at home You try the fog train (Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie.....) (You're day at home, You try the fog train) Rudie come back And Rudie did No else wants to be this way
