Ash, Ash, Ash
‘De mountain rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble
Awe jus a tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble
When we get de ash, ash, ash
When we get de ash, ash, ash
De mountain quaking, quaking, quaking, quaking
De people shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking
When we get de ash, ash, ash
When we get de ash, ash, ash
All we hear is stay calm, stay calm, stay calm, stay calm
Do not be alarm, alarm, alarm, alarm
When we get de ash, ash, ash
When we get de ash, ash, ash
We get nuff ash a dis school, dis school, dis school, dis school
We jus carn be cool, be cool, be cool, be cool
When we get de ash, de ash, de ash
When we get de ash, de ash, de ash
We cannot delay, delay, delay, delay
We have to pray and pray and pray and pray and MUST pray
When we get de ash, de ash, de ash’
