54/46 That's My Number - Byron Lee and the Dragonaires, The Maytals, Toots

I said yeah, listen what I say

I said hear me now, listen what I say

I said stick it up mister

Hear what I say sir

Get your hands in the air, sir

And you will get no hurt mister

Do what I say sir

Just what I mean sir

Get your hands in the air, sir

And you will get no hurt mister

Second thing they say I must join the office

Third thing they say, son — give me your number

He’d say «What's your number?»

I don’t answer

He’d say «What's your number, man?»

He’d say «What's your number now?»

I said «5446, that’s my number…»

First verses again

5446 was my number

Stick it up, mister!

Hear what I say, sir, yeah…

Get your hands in the air, sir!

And you will get no hurt, mister, no no no

I said yeah

What did I say?

Don’t you hear?

I said yeah

Listen to what I say

Do you believe I would take something with me

And give it to the police man?

I wouldn’t do that) And if I do that, I would

Say «sir, put the charge on me»

I wouldn’t do that

No, I wouldn’t do that

I’m not a fool to hurt myself

So I was innocent of what they done to me

They was wrong

Listen to me, they were wrong

Give it to me one time

Give it to me two time

Give it to me three time

Give it to me four time

54 46 was my number

Right now, someone else has that number
