54-46 Was My Number

Toots and The Maytals

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 ya say?
Don't you hear? I said yeah (yeah yeah)
Listen to what I say (what I 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, 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, yeah
Give it to me four time

54 46 was my number
Right now, someone else has that number
One more time!
54 46 was my number
Right now, someone else has that number

I said yeah
Listen to what I say (what I say)
Oh, I said yeah, you know
Listen to what I say (what I say)


Oh, Give it to me one time
Give it to me two time
Give it
Give it no, no, no

Oh yeah!
54 46 was my number
Right now, someone else has that number
