Lyrics:
COCODY ROCK (Alpha Blondy)

Rocking rocker, rocking rocker from Zion I.C.
Ready ready ready, ready to rock
We are the rockers from Zion Ivory Coast
We're ready ready ready, ready to rock

Saying Coco, Coco, Cocody Rock
Coco, Coco, Cocody Rasta
Coco, Coco now, Cocody Rock
Coco, Coco, Cocody Rasta

Somebody, somebody is working out the sound system
I say Jah Jah rythm, we’re moving through space and time
Brother Tom fear ain't got no fears, he's beating down the bass line
So, ah, better get on board the Zion Express

Saying Coco, Coco, Cocody Rock
Coco, Coco, Cocody Rasta
Coco, Coco now, Cocody Rock
Coco, Coco, Cocody Rasta

Rocking in, rocking out, rocking in, rocking out, we're gonna rock you
In the night, in the day, we bound to rock your soul
We’re positively moving, oh, weaving Jah time
No matter what you say or do, we’re bound to rock you down

That’s why we’re saying saying Coco, Coco, Cocody Rock
Coco, Coco, Cocody Rasta
Did you hear me now?
Coco, Coco now, Cocody Rock
Coco, Coco, Cocody Rasta

Rocking in, rocking out, rocking in, rocking out, we're gonna rock you
In the night, in the day, we bound to rock your soul
We’re positively moving, oh, weaving Jah time
No matter what you say or do, we’re bound to rock you down

That’s why we’re saying saying Coco, Coco, Cocody Rock
Coco, Coco, Cocody Rasta
Did you hear me?
I said Coco, Coco now, Cocody Rock
Coco, Coco, Cocody Rasta

Rocking in, rocking out, rocking in, rocking out, we're gonna rock you
In the night, in the day, we bound to rock your soul
We’re positively moving, oh, weaving Jah time
No matter what you say or do, we’re bound to rock you down

That’s why we’re saying saying Coco, Coco, Cocody Rock
Coco, Coco, Cocody Rasta
Sexy lady
Coco, Coco now, Cocody Rock
Coco, Coco, Cocody Rasta
Rasta lady
