Lyrics 54-46 Was My Number - Jeff Beck , Toots & The Maytals

Stick it up, mister
Hear what I say, sir, yeah, yeah
No, no, no, no get your hands in the air, sir
There they will get no hurt mister, no, no, no
I said, "Yeah, listen to what I say"
I said, "Yeah, listen to what I say"
Stick it up, mister
Hear what I say, sir, yeah
Get your hands in the air, now
There you will get no hurt, mister
Yeah, you know what I say sir
Just what I mean sir
Get your hands in the air, now
There you will get no hurt, mister
I said, "Yeah, listen to what I say"
I said, "Yeah, listen to what I say"
Second thing they say I must join the army
Third thing they say, son give me your number
He'd say, "What's your number?" I don't answer
He'd say, "What's your number, man?"
He'd say, "What's your number?"
He'd say, "What's your number, now?"
I said, "54-46, that's my number"
Oh yeah, 54-46, that's my number
One more time 54-46, that's my number
Oh 54-46, that's my number, keep it up
I said, "Yeah, listen to what I say"
I said, "Yeah, listen to what I say
Listen what I say"
Do you believe I will take something with me
And give it to the police man?
I wouldn't do that no, I wouldn't do that, oh no
If I do that, I would say, "Sir, please mister put the charge on me
I wouldn't do that no, I wouldn't do that, no, no, no"
I'm not a fool to hurt myself
As I was innocent of what they done to me
They was wrong let me tell me one more time, they were wrong
Give it to me one time, give, give, give
Oh yeah give it to me one time
Give it to me two time
Give it to me three time
Give it to me four time
54-46 was my number, was my number
Right now, someone else have that number
54-46 was my number, was my number
Right now, someone else have that number
I said, "Yeah, listen to what I say"
I said, "Yeah, listen to what I say"
Keep it up
