Plus points for embarrassing bonus information if you confess to a lyric that you always heard in your head which turned out to be completely wrong.
Desmond Dekker - The Israelites
Love the song. Bonus embarrassing lyric "Get up in the morning slaving for breakfast" 😳😳

"And it's that man you fought with this morning, The same one you are gonna make love to tonight."
