Pon de River Pon de Bank by Elephant Man Lyrics
[Intro]
Yup, good to go
[Chorus]
I've seen nuff dance before (John)
But I've never seen a dance like this (Bogle)
I've Seen Nuff Dance Before (Keiva And Stacy)
But a da one yah come top the list
[Verse 1]
Alright!
Real badman nuh wear people pants
We take dancing to a higher rank
We spend pound, and we spend Frank'
John have a new dance weh lock Jamaica and Bronx
Yeah
Pon Di River, Pon Di Bank
Kick out your shoes because your foot dem nuh cramp (Wha' you say?)
Inna Di River, Pon Di Bank
John have a new dance weh lock Jamaica and Bronx (yeah?)
Down di flank, we a go down di flank
Like a baller, we go down di flank
Your Jeep pretty, and gas inna your tank
Buss di new dance, you nuh wear people pants (cool!)
Give dem a run, John, give dem a run
Give dem a run, we and di girls a have fun (Bogle!)
Give dem a run, Give dem a run
Give dem a run, we and di girls a have fun
[Chorus]
I've seen nuff dance before
But I've never seen a dance like this
I've seen nuff dance before
But a da one yah come top the list
[Verse 2]
Alright!
Labba Labba say, him a get old and can't bother
When the music hit him, him drop weed and grabba
Buss di dance! From the river, to the bank, mi brother
Love how the dancers dem a live together
Everybody bawl out say, "what a Dream Team!"
John, Bogle, Keiva, and the Dancehall Queen
Up inna the Video, you haffi be bling and clean
Hot Monday's, everybody a rope in
Fire Links, take the dance and go show team
Wha' you say? You love the dance? See what a Mean!
Da dance yah, a lock down the housing scheme
Spanish Town, Calaloo Bed, Tivoli, and Papine
Ms. Day hear the song, dash 'way her dasheen
Said, da tune yah bad and she did haffi interveen
Watch how she a dance 'til her boot heel lean
Who can't do the dance, look!
[Chorus]
I've seen nuff dance before
But I've never seen a dance like this
I've seen nuff dance before
But a da one yah come top the list
[Verse 3]
Alright!
Cockburn Pen team up with Drewsland
Stacy and Keiva start shake hand (true!)
Take on any gyal weh waan come take on the gang
All dancers fi unite and live as one
John and Bogle, a unuh mi a talk
Lock di riverbed, now di sea part
Bogle a wave and tear the dance apart
John do the new dance and bust it inna half
[Verse 1]
Alright!
Real badman nuh wear people pants
We take dancing to a higher rank
We spend pound, and we spend Frank'
John have a new dance weh lock Jamaica and Bronx

Give dem a run, John, give dem a run
Give dem a run, we and di girls a have fun (Bogle!)
Give dem a run, Give dem a run

I'm just doing this for the kids and me
And my fans all agree
Keeping it real, doing the music for the fans
Elephant Man
I dedicate this one to all the dancers and...you know..the dancehall music fraternity
We just keeping it bouncing and..letting the fans enjoy themselves
It's time to party
It's January going up to February
And December, remember
Shizzle!
Elephant Man, I'm bringing love in the music, and joy and splendor
Dance!
