Lyrics

(Verse)
It all started late on a Saturday night
Said who's got the spliffs and who's got the pint
Look out the window said to my surprise
Here comes the man in blue and his flashing lights
He said, Now you know your party's fuckin' over with
Because ya smokin' joints and your rollin' spliffs
Now tell me whatcha think I ought to think of this
Say wantcha pull out your sack, I say or you will be missed

(Pre-Chorus)
Say now, Mr.Officer, come charge me all the time
You got me for possession but I swear that it's not mine
No matter what you do or say, it's bound to come right back this way
And if you want a moment's please say this is what you'll say
C'mon an' let's get this party started until the break of dawn
An' let's keep this party movin' until there's no holdin'
An' let's get this party started until the break of dawn
An' let's keep this party movin', all you've got to do is sing

(Chorus)
Can't take the pressure for long
All they wanna do is rock 'til after 2
Gettin' high, then they singin' this song
Snap another B and drink another brew
Said, they can't take the pressure for long
All I wanna do is rock 'til after 2
Gettin' high then they singin' this song
Snap another B then drink another brew, c'mon

(Verse)
[Incomprehensible] roadblock but me so sorry Mr.Cop
I bet you anything me gonna get stopped
[Incomprehensible] roadblock but me so sorry Mr.Cop
I bet you anything me gonna get stopped, I want yo
Hey, Mr.Cop said, Now why'd you stoppa me, na na
I wasn't driving me car badly
I said, Don’t go lock me up because me smoke sensi
Yes, this is the ghetto but me live cross the sea


(Pre-Chorus)
Say now, Mr.Officer, come charge me all the time
You got me for possession but I swear that it's not mine
No matter what you do or say, it's bound to come right back this way
And if you want a moment's please say this is what you'll say
C'mon an' let's get this party started until the break of dawn
An' let's keep this party movin' until there's no holdin'
An' let's get this party started until the break of dawn
An' let's keep this party movin', all you've got to do is sing

(Chorus x2, fade out)
Can't take the pressure for long
All they wanna do is rock 'til after 2
Gettin' high, then they singin' this song
Snap another B and drink another brew
Said, they can't take the pressure for long
All I wanna do is rock 'til after 2
Gettin' high then they singin' this song
Snap another B then drink another brew, c'mon
