Intro

Mm

Selector wheel it back

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Gal you hold tight when the rhythm start

The whole yard a wait fi the drop

From Half Way Tree down to Papine

We nah stop

Roster in the corner and the hen dem ready

Pon a Friday night

Sound boy draw fi the dubplate

And the speaker dem a fight

Pre-Chorus

So tell me

Tell me you deh yah fi the long haul

Tell me

Tell me you nah run when the bass call

Chorus

Play till daylight

Play till the morning come

Gal you hold tight

We nah leave till the sun

Play till daylight

One more riddim one more run

Gal you hold tight

We a ride till the morning come

Verse 2

My uncle keep the vinyl in a crocus bag

Him say the old tune sweeter when the needle drag

Two o'clock three o'clock four

Nobody a move from the door

Sweat pon the wall and the zinc roof hum

We a chant till the rooster come

Pre-Chorus

So tell me

Tell me you deh yah fi the long haul

Tell me

Tell me you nah run when the bass call

Chorus

Play till daylight

Play till the morning come

Gal you hold tight

We nah leave till the sun

Play till daylight

One more riddim one more run

Gal you hold tight

Verse 3

One more dub fi the people dem weh stand up

Pull up the fader make the whole place jam up

Rewind it back and the wheel spin slow

Watch how the young gal a hold the corner so

Big man a reason bout the days gone by

When a sound clash money couldn't buy

Bass so deep it a shake the zinc

Tell the neighbor fi come link

Tell me you deh yah fi the long haul

Tell me

Rooster a crow but we nah pack up yet

Selector a smile and him nah forget

Every request from the crowd a get spin

Roster dem a laugh and the hen dem a grin

Four o'clock five o'clock six

Nobody ready fi call it quits

Sun a creep over Mountain View

And the riddim still sound brand new

Verse 5

Now the sun a climb and the crowd a thin

But the faithful few dem a hold within

Sweat dry up pon the concrete wall

Still nobody wan fi hear the last call

My uncle a zip up the crocus bag

Him say the last tune haffi sweet and drag

So wheel it one time fi the morning breeze

And bring the whole a Papine to dem knees

So tell me

Tell me you deh yah fi the long haul

Tell me

Tell me you nah run when the bass call

Chorus

Play till daylight
