Lyrics

Reeba reeba! Oh anytime you like, you want a hot summer's night The sweet smell of weed in the air - yes sir All the cats are hangin' on and flying like kites You can tell by the glass in their stare yes sir Any bar or pool room and the action gets rough A sesne of discontent in the air, yes sir Catch some sideways jojo that was tryin' to look tough You can tell them Harlem cookies ain't square, no sir The Ready steady kids are flippin their lids and rippin' their skids The Ready steady kids are pickin' their sticks and smokin' their cigs They're rowdy at ballgame the on a cold afternoon Aimin' at the ref with a can, yo man All them cats been workin all week, they're out for a loon They gettin all stuck up in a jam yo man The Ready steady kids are flippin their lids and rippin' their skids - look out! The Ready steady kids are pickin' their sticks and smokin' their cigs Ready steady, we're ready steady, we're ready steady, go go go go Oh, any old plantation on a hot summer's nite - the sweet smell of grass in the air, yes sir All the cats are hangin' on and flying like kites - You can tell by the glass in their glare yes sir (Choruses and ad-libs to end)
