[Verse] He came knockin' on my door at the break of night With a tie too tight and a grin not right Said he’s here to talk about my unpaid dues But I swear I paid with my dancing shoes [Chorus] Oh no here comes the ska collector With his briefcase full of doom Taxing my soul like a bad inspector And the police wanna swab my room [Verse] Hiding in my closet where my records live He sniffed around like a fugitive "I know you’ve got cash stashed under the bed" But all he’ll find is my secrets Dread [Chorus] Oh no here comes the ska collector With his clipboard and evil sway The fuzz is outside with a DNA detector I’ll skank my way out and away [Bridge] They’re at the corners They’re at the gates Chasing my shadow while sealing my fates If taxes don’t kill me The law might try I’ll escape on the bassline Wave goodbye [Verse 2] Under the moon I’m a running ska king Jumping fences to the rhythm I bring “Surrender your wallet And spit in this tube” But I’m groovin’ fast to my ska mood
