(Intro)
Hear di skank, hear di laugh, livity inna the bricks
This one go outta order — Outta Order Dutty Barrel Mix
Keisha and Jennifer, two gyal wid a mischievous grin
They pack love inna madness, let the good vibes in
(Verse 1)
Keisha tied the rope, she shoved in a shirt dat smell like rain
Jennifer shoved in shoes wid holes like little windowpanes
A saucepan wid a crab stuck tight inside the lid
Socks mismatched like island flags — rhythm inna what they did
A lid dat rattle like maracas when di ship start to sway
Filthy pots and crooked spoons, but hope findin' its way
(Pre-Chorus)
(skank on the offbeat)
Outta order, outta order — but di heart stay clean
(Backup: "Outta order!")
Rattle the drum, pass di smile, we sailin' on di dream
(Backup: "Outta order!")
(Chorus)
Outta-order, dutty barrel mix — love packed in every fix
Broken shoes, battered pots — hope in every little box
Keisha and Jen send di vibe — reggae heart, island drive
Outta-order, dutty barrel mix — laugh and love across di docks
(Backup call: "Outta order!")
(Verse 2)
Barrel hit di pier, salt breeze and a rooster crow
Auntie look inside and start fi chuckle, den she say "Whoa!"
Kids clap dey hands, dem use a spoon fi beat a tune
Dat saucepan wid di crab become a banjo under di moon
A used sandal turned a planter wid a tiny herb peepin' through
What some call useless, some call miracle — dat's how community grew
(Pre-Chorus)
(skank on the offbeat)
Outta order, outta order — but di rhythm stay true
(Backup: "Outta order!")
We pass di plate, we share di laugh, we mek di best wid what we do
(Backup: "Outta order!")
(Chorus)
Outta-order, dutty barrel mix — love packed in every fix
Broken shoes, battered pots — hope in every little box
Keisha and Jen send di vibe — reggae heart, island drive
Outta-order, dutty barrel mix — laugh and love across di docks
(Backup call: "Outta order!")
(Bridge - Toast & Scene)
Narrator (spoken, gentle): "Bless up di barrel, bless up di girls. Every odd ting haffi story, every dent haffi glory."
Aunties hum, kids jump, dem taste stew outta a dented pan
Somebody swing a lid like maracas, everybody clap and dan'
Laughter turn to soup, and soup turn to song — di street a chorus line
From outta-order comes di sweetness, from little tings di big light shine
(Chorus - Tightened)
Outta-order, dutty barrel mix — love tucked in every fix
Socks like flags, a crab inna lid — joy in every little box
Keisha and Jen send di vibe — reggae heart, island drive
Outta-order, dutty barrel mix — laugh and love across di docks
(Backup call: "Outta order!" • Response: "Yeah!" )
(Outro)
So raise yuh cup, mek a toast to the girls who packed a smile
Outta Order Dutty Barrel Mix — mek di journey worth di while
Skank fade out, drums keep tickin', let di chorus linger on
Keisha and Jennifer, bless up — till di next dutty barrel song
(Final backup echo: "Outta order... Outta order... Outta order!")
