Ding Ding Licky Licky Licky Bong
Lucky Dube · Other Side [2004]
Now that I think about it
Tears cannot bring you joy
But joy can bring you tears
Even though I cry today
I will not hide it
It is for a different reason
That is why I'll shout it out
For the world to hear
I say, "Hello, hello happiness
Oh Jah, thank you
For another day"
I say
"Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong"
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
I say
"Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong"
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Another tear drop falls
But I don't care
I took a wrong turn in life before
But I've paid my dues
Objects in the rear view mirror
They appear closer than they are
If you don't talk the talk
Don't walk the walk
If you won't please, don't tease
Another lesson learned
I'm gonna shout it out again
"Hello, hello happiness
Oh God, thank you
For another chance"
There is no future in the past
So shout it out
"Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong"
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
"Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong"
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
Ding ding licky licky licky bong
They say
"Ding ding licky licky licky bong"
Hey Ringo come and dance with me
Come on, come on
Rasta
Come and spend my shoes
Hey Greek women
Rasta
Ding Ding Licky Licky Licky Bong
