Old King Cole was a merry old soul
A merry old soul was he
Old King Cole had a star in his clothes
And now he's trying to see

Don't put your trust in vanity
Or it will let you down
Don't put your trust in vanity
Or you'll be on the ground

Because the eighties pass and gone

It is easier for a camel
To go through the eye of a needle
Than a rich man to enter in the kingdom of Zion
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To rob the dreadlocks of his till
The dread licked them down and they broke their crown
And now they are on the ground

So don't put your trust in vanity
For it will let you down
Don't put your trust in vanity
Or you'll be on the ground

Vanity
Oh vanity
Spoiling humanity

Say we supply to your stride then a bob to your walk
A little heat to your feet and a dub to your rock
That's the way how the rubber duck flow
Say that's the way how the rubber duck flow

But it was on my way to a foreign land
Here come a captain and a general
They want to carry me go to station (Say what?)
Them talking about the rules and regulation
Them talking about the rules and regulation, man
But a the dread a the central part of me life
Dread a the central part of me life
You fi let me make me function
