Song Lyrics

Ooh, yeah, yeah yeah
Say you gonna punky punky punk

New wave, new phrase
New wave, new craze
We're going to the party
And I hope you are hardy
So please don't be naughty
For it's a punky reggae party
New wave, new craze
New wave, new phrase

It takes a joyful sound
To make the world go 'round
Come with your heart and soul
Come 'a come and rock your boat
It's a punky reggae party
And it's tonight
It's a punky reggae party
And it's alright

What did you say?

Rejected by society (do re mi fa)
Treated with impunity (so la te do)
Protected by their dignity (do re mi fa)
I search reality (so la te do)

New wave, new craze
New wave, new wave new phrase

Now I'm saying the wailers be there
The Dammed, The Jam, The Clash
Maytals will be there
Doctor Feelgood too, ooh
No boring old farts
No boring old farts
No boring old farts
Will be there
Singing, no boring old farts
No boring old farts
No boring old farts
Will be there

Well, it's the punky reggae party
And it's tonight
It's a punky reggae party
And it's alright

Oh ah

A tip from a gypsy (do re mi fa)
She said man you got a tipsy (so la te do)
Hidin' from reality (do re mi fa)
In your world of hypocrisy (so la te do)

In your world of hypocrisy
In your world of hypocrisy
In your world of hypocrisy
In your world of hypocrisy
Look out

A bubble, a bubble
We ain't lookin' for no trouble yeah
So if you trouble trouble
We'll give it to you double

Let me tell you
It takes a joyful sound to make the world go 'round
It takes a joyful sound so come come rock your boat

'Cause it's the punky reggae party
And it's tonight
Well it's a punky reggae party
And it's alright

A tip from a gypsy (do re mi fa)
She said man you gettin' a tipsy (so la te do)
Hidin' from reality (do re mi fa)
In your world of hypocrisy (so la te do)

In your world of hypocrisy
Say hidin' from reality
In your world of hypocrisy
In your world of hypocrisy
A bubble, a bubble, a bubble, a bubble
A bubble, a bubble, a bubble, a bubble, a bubble with a bubble
We ain't lookin' for no trouble yeah

New wave
New craze
New wave, new craze (aah)
