Lyrics Convention - The Skatalites

Convention

When you can walk a mile into my shoe
Criticize me then I won’t fuss
A nuh what you may say but what you do
Those are the words of Confucious
Many a serious things are said in jest
Provacatively or contemptuously
Only fools do and say things they regret
Those are the words of Confucious
What the world needs is more love and understanding
Put down your sword and heed to peaceful ways
For there’s no gain to lean on one’s misgivings
Men who them hang can’t drown
Confucious say
Merry merry up yourself
Confucious say
Happy happy time is still for us today
