Ding Ding Licky Licky Licky Bong

Lucky Dube · Other Side [2004]

It seems like it only happened yesterday



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
