SWEET MUSIC
By Lord Shorty

Hey-hey hey-hey eh eh hey-hey ha-ha
Uh hmm ah oh-oh oh-oh

I can't play, I can't write music [Music]
Yet every day and every night I create it [Sweet music]
My system is rhythm, simplicity and melody
My tunes are happy and my music sweet
If you don't dig the melody, you will dig the beat.

I make music, yeah, sweet music
A feeling your mind and your body does get
Is this music, music, music, yeah, sweet music, hey hey-hey
No matter what you say or do
The magic of our music gets you
Music, yeah, uhhmm hmm, sweet music, ey ey-ey
Music, uhhmm uhm, [Sweet music]
[Music, sweet music]

I try to be totally musical [Music]
That's why, you see, I'm super sensational [Sweet music]
This spirit of music possesses me entirely
Bringing out naturally from within my soul
Sweet musical harmony from beyond this world.

And I make music, yeah, ey hey-hey-hey, sweet music
A feeling your mind and your body does get
Is this music, music, music, yeah, sweet music, yeah
No matter what you say or do
The magic of my music gets you
Music, music, music, yeah, sweet music
Ey-ey hey-hey [Music]
Music, music, music, music, yeah [Sweet music] huh
[Music] uhhmm uhm [Sweet music]

Revolution in song is my goal [Music]
A rhythm for the young and the old [Sweet music]
Pulsating, exciting, music to jump, music to romp
Anytime or anywhere where my music play
You got to lend an ear, makes you move and sway.

I make music, yeah, hmmm, sweet, sweet music
A feeling your mind and your body does get
Is this music, music, music, yeah, sweet music
No matter what you say or do
The magic of my music gets you
Music, yeah, sweet music.

Oh ho ho-ho, yeah, uhmm ha-ha ha ha-ha ha, yeah
Music, sweet music!

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Ras Shorty I. I know that these lyrics are probably available elsewhere in libraries but I consider it a personal joy and privilege to listen to these songs, really listen to the messages and the medium upon which they are carried, to transcribe, to reflect, to have the feeling that I am for a while close to these musicians, to their dreams and the genius which inspires their expressions.

"This spirit of music possesses me entirely
Bringing out naturally from within my soul
Sweet musical harmony from beyond this world."

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
