Well, I just got back an' I wish I never leave now 
(where'd ya go?) 
Who dat Martian arrival at the airport yeah? 
(where'd ya go?) 
How many local dollars for a local anaesthetic? 
(where'd ya go?) 
The Johnny on the corner wasn't very sympathetic 
(where'd ya go?) 


I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery 
Sitting here in my safe European home 
Don't wanna go back there again. 


Wasn't lucky an' wouldn't it be loverly? 
(where'd ya go?) 
Send us all cards, an' have a laying in on a Sunday 
(where'd ya go?) 
I was there for two weeks, so how come I never tell now 
(where'd ya go?) 
That Natty Dread drinks at the Sheraton Hotel now 
(where'd ya go?) 


I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery 
Sitting here in my safe European home 
Don't wanna go back there again. 


They got the sun, an' they got the palm trees 
(where'd ya go?) 
They got the weed, an' they got the taxes 
(where'd ya go?) 
Whoa, The Harder They Come, an' the home of ol' bluebeat 
(where'd ya go?) 
I'd stay an' be a tourist but I can't take the gunplay 
(where'd ya go?) 


I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery 
Sitting here in my safe European home 
Don't wanna go back there again. 


Rudie come 
From Jamaica 
Cos Rudie can't fail 
Cos Rudie come 
From Jamaica 
Rudie can't fail 
Rudie come 
From Jamaica 
Cos Rudie can't fail 
Cos Rudie come 
From Jamaica 
Rudie can't fail 
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie 
Rudie can't fail 
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie 
Rudie can't fail 


Cos Rudie's went there 
And Rudie's lived there 
And Rudie come back, come back now 


And Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie 
Come back, come on 
now oh now 


Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie 
Rudie can't fail 


Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie 
Rudie, YOU CAN'T FAIL! 


Rudie come on and Rudie come 
And Rudie can't fail 


Explosive! 
(Rudie come on, Rudie, Rudie... Rudie can't fail...) 
You're day at home 
You try the fog train 
(Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie.....) 
(You're day at home, You try the fog train) 
Rudie come back 
And Rudie did 
No else wants to be this way
