Just one lifetime
Sting et Shaggy reggae
Che-le-bang bang
Che-le-bang bang
The time has come, the Wal-rus said
Talk of ma-ny things
Ship and shoes and se-a-ling wax
Of ca-ab-ba-ges and kings
Life a the grea-test gift gi-ven to hu-ma-ni-ty
Sur-round your-self with a lot a po-si-tive e-ner-gy
Yuh can buy it e-ven’f yuh have wull heap a mo-ney
A das why we spre-ad love i-na the com-mu-ni-ty
Yuh coul-da be a small man or a ce-le-bri-ty
Yuh coul-da live up-town or di i-na ci-ty
We need a world full a peace and se-re-ni-ty
Sting come sing out fi e-very-bo-dy
The time has come, as Shag-gy said
To talk of ma-ny things
Of ships and shoes and sea-ling wax
Of cab-ba-ges and kin-gs
The pla-nets turn in re-tro-grade
The moon seems to have fled
The world is spin-ning up-side down
And lan-ded on its head
Just one life-time
And there’s on-ly one
Yes there’s on-ly one
Just one life to live
As-su-ming that we’ll make it
We’ve no choice but to take it
I’m with you, the Wal-rus said
We’ll dress for hea-vy wea-ther
Wha-te-ver’s on the road a-head
We’re in this now to-ge-ther
We thought we’d make a run for it
Not kno-wing where we’re hea-ded
We packed the car with both our bags
And filled her up un-lea-ded
Just one life-time
And there’s on-ly one
Yes there’s on-ly one
Just one life to live
As-su-ming that we’ll make it
We’ve no choice but to take it
Come Meck we take a page out a di book of life
Le-go ne-ga-ti-vi-ty and do what’s right
We no longer need fi a fuss or fight
U-nite the world an show dem di right
Dis ge-ne-ra-tion a set a new trend
Re-place di word e-ne-my wid friend
Lea-ders a di world these rules can’t bend
Dis a di mes-sa-ge wi send to dem
The time had come, a re-cko-ning
We all knew it was co-ming
We hea-ded North on emp-ty roads
The en-gine gen-tly hum-ming
The Wal-rus smoked ci-ga-rette
He claimed it was his last
No signs of life, no gas, no food
In all the emp-ty towns we passed
All we have is me and you
It has to be e-nough
I’ve got your back and you’ve got mine
If the goi-ng it gets rough
Just one life-time
And there’s on-ly one
Yes there’s on-ly one
Just one life to live
As-su-ming that we’ll make it
We’ve no choice but to take it
The time has come, the Wal-rus said
To talk of ma-ny things
Of ships and shoes and sea-ling wax
Of cab-ba-ges and kings
