...DREADLOCK HOLIDAY... by 10cc

*from 'Bloody Tourists' (1978)*

Intro:

Verse 1:

I was walkin' down the street,

Concen-tratin' on truckin' right.

I heard a dark voice beside of me,

And I looked round in a state of fright.

Bridge 1:

I saw four faces, one mad, a brother from the gutter.

They looked me up and down a bit and turned to each other.

Interlude:

Gm F, Cm Dm (n.C)

I say:

Chorus 1:

I don't like cricket, oh no,

I love it.

I don't like cricket, oh no,

I love it.

Break 1:

Don't you walk through my words, you got to show some respect.

Don't you walk through my words, 'cos you ain't heard me out yet.

Interlude:

Verse 2:

Well he looked down at my silver chain,

He said I'll give you one dollar.

I said You've got to be jokin' man,

It was a present from me mother.

Bridge 2:

He said I like it, I want it, I'll take it off your hands,

And you'll be sorry you crossed me, you'd better under-stand,

That you're a-lone...

A long way from home. And I say...

Chorus 2:

I don't like reggae, oh no,

I love it.

I don't like reggae, oh no,

I love it.

Break 2:

Don't you cramp me style, don't you queer on me pitch.

Don't you walk through my words, 'cos you ain't heard me out yet.

Interlude:

Gm F, Cm Dm, Gm F, Cm Dm (n.C)

*KEY CHANGE*

Verse 3:

I hurried back to the swimming pool,

Sinkin' pina coladas,

I heard a dark voice beside me say,

Would you like something harder.

Bridge 3:

She said I've got it, you want it, my harvest is the best,

And if you try it you'll like it, and wallow in a dreadlock holi...

(Dreadlock, holi, Dreadlock holi,

Deadlock holi, Dreadlock holiday). And I say:

Chorus 3:

Don't like Ja-maica, oh no,

I love her.

Don't like Ja-maica, oh no,

I love her.

Break 3:

Don't you walk through her words, you got to show some respect.

Don't you walk through her words, 'cos you ain't heard me out yet.

Interlude:

Coda:

I don't like cricket, oh no,

I love it. (Dreadlock Holi-day).

I don't like reggae, oh no,

I love it. (Dreadlock Holi-day).

Don't like Ja-maica, oh no,

I love her. (Dreadlock Holi-day).

I don't like cricket, oh no,

I love it. (Dreadlock Holi-day).

I don't like reggae, oh no,

I love it. (Dreadlock Holi-day).
