lirik lagu various artists - mr james - live
we got all sort of kids in our school
west indian, african, and white
thought we’d like to have a
school orchestra
thought that’d be all right
but mr james who teaches ethnic studies
said that would be decadency
imposing western cultural values
on the ethnic minority
mr james who teaches ethnic studies
says we’ve got to have a steel band
says it’ll help with the racial harmony
says it’ll help us to understand
we got a grant to buy the oil drums
we cut ’em up in metalwork
mr james hit his thumb with the chisel
mr james is a berk
and all of us said
if we can’t havе an orchestra
can’t we have a rock group instеad?
and all the black kids said
“yeah, we’d like that better”
but mr james shook his head
mr james who teaches ethnic studies
says we’ve got to have a steel band
says it’ll help with the racial harmony
says it’ll help us to understand
[instrumental bridge]
we played in the street
and all the black kids
was immediately arrested on sus
mr james had to go and get them out
he had to make a terrible fuss
so all the blacks left the band
and formed their own group
now we’re a white steel band, which is wet
we may be bad, but we’re not as bad as
their rastafarian string quartet
mr james who teaches ethnic studies
said we’ve got to have a steel band
said it’ll help with the racial harmony
mr james doesn’t understand
[applause]
