[Chorus]
A nuff man go a New York and Miami go bow
And come back say, dem a badman yah now

And a pose like a wicked man, when dem a funny man
Dem go a New York and Miami go bow
Come back say, dem a badman yah now

Dem go a Canada and England go bow
And a pose, and sport, and a sport
[Verse 1]
But right away
Steve used to 'par with Barry
Him used to shot nuff nuff people and no sorry
Then Bulby hear him deh a GP a act freaky-freaky
A walk with nasty man Larry
Couldn't believe say badman Fred...
Who go a New York go run that red...
I hear him deh a prison a give another man head
And a wash man clothes inna skirt and tie head
Sing!

[Chorus]
Nuff man go a New York and Miami go bow
And come back say, dem a badman yah now
Dem a gyow!
Dem go a Canada and England go bow
And a pose, and sport, and a sport

[Verse 2]
But anyway
Badman sittin means you mustn't 'fraid
Man no drop soap inna jail when dem a bathe
Badman sittin means you'd prefer dead
Then fi make your cellmate come use you fi bed
Badman sittin is not a nice name
That simply means me can't go play no Rock Hudson game!
Badman sittin is not a nice talk
Man a badman, and man ride dem like -
[Chorus]
Dem go a New York and Miami go bow
And come back say, dem a badman yah now
Gyow!
Nuff of dem go Canada and England go bow
And a pose, and sport, and a sport

[Verse 3]
But anyway deh
A nuff man bad 'til dem reach a jail
Then dem haffi empty the filthy pale
Man all blow that kiss through all rail
Run a gay test and him fail
Come a road come see we and him can't get a hail
Badman no friend punk if dem a female
Tony hold the faith until him get bail
But a nuff boy get bow down a jail, and dem frail
'Cause

[Chorus]
Dem go a New York and Miami go bow
And come back say, dem a badman yah now
Gyow!
Dem go a Canada and England go bow
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Dem go a New York and Miami go bow
And come back say, dem a bad boy yah now
Gyow!
Dem come a Canada and England go bow
And a pose, and sport, and a sport
[Verse 1]
But, from top
I sing
Steve used to 'par with Barry
Him used to shot nuff nuff people and no sorry
Then Bulby hear him deh a GP a get freaky-freaky
A walk with nasty man Larry
And I couldn't believe say badman Fred...
Who go up a New York go run that red...
I hear him deh a prison a give another man head
And a wash man clothes inna skirt and tie head
Hey!

[Chorus]
Dem go a New York and Miami go bow
And come back say, dem a badman yah now
Gyow!
Dem come Canada and England go bow
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Dem go a New York and Miami go bow
And come back say, dem a badman yah now
Gyow!
Dem come Canada and England go bow
And a pose, and sport, and a sport
