Lyrics
Said it was 96 degrees in the shade Ten thousand soldiers on parade Taking I and I to meet a big fat boy Sent from overseas The queen employ Excellency before you I come With my representation You know where I'm coming from You caught me on the loose Fighting to be free Now you show me a noose On the cotton tree Entertainment for you Martyrdom for me (x2) 96 degrees in the shade Real hot in the shade My heart is beating quickly My skin is dark and sticky Your shade shows me no mercy Real hot and thrust, I'm thirsty My shoes can hardly fit me My clothes is slim and filthy My body bruised and sweaty My stomach's always empty Rest my soul from all your lashes Quarters from all, two ashes My flesh incarcerated My conscience free from shackles My face is on your money My name is Paul Bogle Today I'm just a prisoner One day, I'll be a hero Some may suffer and some may burn But i know that one day my people will learn As sure as the sun shines, way up in the sky Today i stand here a victim, the truth is I'll never die (x2) 96 degrees in the shade Real hot in the shade
