Het lekkerste het laatst in de herdenkingsserie – het kwam ook langs in de film The harder they come, maar het is niet opgenomen in de soundtrack. Ik ga niet de snob uithangen die verkondigt dat Toots & the Maytals wel betere dingen hebben gemaakt, kom op zeg.
Everybody, give it to me! Uh!
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey!
Yeah! Oh yeah
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey!
I want you to believe every word I say
I want you to believe everything I do
I said music is what I’ve got to give
And I’ve got to find some way to make it
Music is what I’ve got baby
I want you to come on and shake it
Shake it, shake it baby
Oh yeah, hey
Na na na
Oh yeah! Na na na
Funky, Funky, Funky
Funky Kingston, is what I’ve got for you

Eh Eh! Eh Eh! Eh Eh!
Yo reggae
Hear the piano, stick it to me, stick to me
Na Na Na Na
Oh yeah, alright, oh yeah
Watch me now
You watch me now
Playing from east to west yeah
I just play from north to south, yeah
I love black America
People keep on asking me for, Funky Kingston!
But I ain’t got none
Somebody take it away from me
Better buy yourself one
Funky Kingston, 1972
