Notes

• Jonathan's version of Coomyah is inspired by an earlier version by Desmond Dekker, the Jamaican singer who had an early reggae/ska hit with "the Israelites"
• *1 - could be 'If your can pop a leak and you pop your turpentine' or 'campho phenique and you pop your turpentine'
• *2 - could be 'Can pop a leak and you bust your weather gong'
