Here I come again to shock you in your brain
It's the same ole me
Your easy snappin' man

Easy snappin', (easy snappin')
Easy rockin' (talkin bout easy rockin')
Easy snappin', baby while you jump and shout (While you jump and shout, while you jump shout all around the town)

Last night papa come in drunk
Been around the town
Mamma said now pappa
You're a real poor clown

Easy snappin', (easy snappin')
Easy rockin' (talkin bout easy rockin')
Easy snappin', baby while you jump and shout (While you jump and shout, while you jump shout all around the town)

[Astro Rap:]
Easy snappin' is 1,2,3
Everybody round come a bother me
Easy snappin' is 1,2,3
Everybody round come a bother me

See the girl bangels passing and move
See the girl bangels passing and groove
Camel of the union always endlessly
Everybody knows we were meant to be

Camel of the union always endlessly
Lets get together make sweet harmony
Camel of the union always endlessly
Lets get together make sweet harmony

'Cause we'll be stopping for eternity
When we walk down the street you break guys hearts in two (with)
Everything you say and everything you do

Easy snappin', (easy snappin')
Easy rockin' (talkin bout easy rockin')
Easy snappin', baby while you jump and shout (While you jump and shout, while you jump shout all around the town)

Here I come again to shock you in your brain
It's the same ole me
Your easy snappin' man

Easy snappin', (easy snappin')
Easy rockin' (talkin bout easy rockin')
Easy snappin', baby while you jump and shout (While you jump and shout, while you jump shout all around the town)

Easy snappin', baby while you jump and shout (While you jump and shout, while you jump and shout all around the town)
Easy snappin', baby while you jump and shout (While you jump and shout, while you jump and shout all around the town)

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”. Their two most successful albums, Labour of Love (1983) and Promises and Lies (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.

On January 24, 2008, it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was reported by some Birmingham newspapers on 13 March 2008, that Maxi Priest would be the new lead singer of UB40 and had recorded a cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with the band.
