Lyric discussion by butterfingersbeck 

Cover art for Israelites lyrics by Desmond Dekker

This was used in a very funny 1980s ad for Maxell cassettes - a man was shown standing in the street holding hand-written cards with lyrics on them, à la Bob Dylan. The written lyrics were as follows:

"Get up in the morning Sleeping for bed, sir Sold out to every monk and beef-head Oh! Oh! Me ears are alight!

"Why find me kids? They buck up and a-leave me Darling cheese-head It was yards too greasy Oh! Oh! Me ears are alight!"

and finally

"At least I think that's what he said. But I'll have to hear it on Maxell to be sure!"
