King of Ska Lyrics

Take your time, take time for the king is back,
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top.
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.

Don't rush it, man, you will surely lose it
I am going to burn your skin like a blazing fire.

So take your time, take time for the king is back.
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top.
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.

I want you to know who's the king of the ska.
The king of the ska is right here on top.

So take your time, take time for the king is back.
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top.
The king is back, right here, and he's right on top.

Take your time, take time for the king is back.
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top.
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.

I want you to know who's the king of the ska.
The king of the ska is right here on top.

So take your time, take time for the king is back.
Take your time, you've got to know that the king is back.
Take your time, beware, for he's right on top.
The king is back, right here, and he's right on top.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
