No need - no need to get jumpy; 

No need and-a no need to get bumpy, 

And-a no need - and-a no need to get bumpy; 

No nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-need to get jumpy! 
  
Cool runnings; can you dig it? 

Cool runnings; yeah, one more time!  A-beg ya: 

Cool runnings; can you stop it? 

Cool runnings: 

Spread out, spread out,         Spread out, spread out. 
  
Tell you about the Blackman Redemption; can you dig it?  (Oh, yeah!) 

A Blackman Redemption; can you stop it? Oh, no!  Oh, no!  Oh, no!

And-a no need - and-a no need to walk away.

Cool runnings;

Spread out, spread out,  Spread out, spread out, 
Spread out.  Spread out, spread out.  Spread out, spread out. 
  
It's just-a Blackman Redemption ...
