54-46 (That's My Number) Songtext

von Toots & The Maytals

Stick it up, mister
Hear what I said, sir, yeah
Get your hands in the air, sir
And you will get no hurt, mister, no, no, no

I said "yeah"
What they say?
Don't you hear, I said "yeah"
Mister, what they say?

Do you believe I would take something with me
And give it to the policeman? I wouldn't do that
And if I do that, I would say
"Sir, I want to put the charge on me"? I wouldn't do that
No, I wouldn't do that
I'm not a fool to hurt myself
So I was innocent of what they done to me, they was wrong
Listen to me one more time, they was wrong

Give it to me one time
Give it to me two times
Give it to me three times
Give it to me four times

54-46 was my number, right now someone else has that number
One more time, 54-46 was my number, right now someone else has that number

I said "yeah"
Mister what they say?
Oh I said "Help me now"
Mister, what they say?

[SCATTING]

Oh, give it to me one time
Give it to me two times
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
No, no, no, no -- Oh

[SCATTING]

Oh yeah, 54-46 was my number, oh yeah right now someone else...
