- Johnny Reggae LyricsYou used to see him down Leicester Square,
With a mixed-up suit and filthy hair.
He played harmonica in limbo,
For his tea and fare
He drank too much, but, I couldn't care
Chorus:
Johnny Reggae he could not see (x3)
But it never stopped him
Smiling at me.
He wore a badge from a paradise isle,
He grinned a lot, he had a toothless smile.
He broke no laws,
Or appeared on no files,
And spent his night upon the pavement tiles.
Chorus
They say it started with some rookie police,
When a lucky right hand knocked one off his feet.
They dragged him, legless, to the soundproof cell,
Where no-one but the dead could hear you yell,
And they gave what they give to the troublesome
niggers.
Now, I hope one night, when there is me and thee,
That we are behind those men in a blind alley.
In the blackened night their eyes don't see,
Who dealt a dose of brutality.
Chorus:
For, Johnny Reggae he could not see (x3)
But that never stopped their brutality.
With a mixed-up suit and filthy hair.
He played harmonica in limbo,
For his tea and fare
He drank too much, but, I couldn't care
Chorus:
Johnny Reggae he could not see (x3)
But it never stopped him
Smiling at me.
He wore a badge from a paradise isle,
He grinned a lot, he had a toothless smile.
He broke no laws,
Or appeared on no files,
And spent his night upon the pavement tiles.
Chorus
They say it started with some rookie police,
They dragged him, legless, to the soundproof cell,
Where no-one but the dead could hear you yell,
And they gave what they give to the troublesome
niggers.
Now, I hope one night, when there is me and thee,
That we are behind those men in a blind alley.
In the blackened night their eyes don't see,
Who dealt a dose of brutality.
Chorus:
For, Johnny Reggae he could not see (x3)
But that never stopped their brutality.
