The Toots & Maytals - 54-46 That's My Number Lyrics

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

I said yeah. (I said yeah)
What they say? (what they say)
Don't you hear, I said yeah. (yeah-yeah)
Mister, what they say? (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 my self,
So I was innocent of what they done to me, they was wrong,
Listen to me one more time, they were wrong.

Give it to me one time, (uh)
Give it to me two times, (uh-uh)
Give it to me three times, (uh-uh-uh))
Give it to me four times. (uh-uh-uh-uh)

54-46 was my number,
Right now someone else has that number.
One more time, 54-46 was my number, was my number man,
Right now someone else has that number.

I said yeah! (I said yeah)
Mister what they say? (what they say)
Oh I said, help me now. (yeah-yeah)
Mister, what they say?

(..)

Oh, give it to me one time, (uh)
Give it to me two times, (uh-uh)
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme,
No, no, no, no.. oh..

(..)

Oh yeah, 54-46 was my number, oh yeah,
Rright now someone else have that number.
