Flit Flat In The Hat by Ska-Daddle

Yonks old Jamaican DJ & producer Leigh 'Spatula' Terry killed us all - almost literally - when he laid down Krill Swarm's rocksteady classic. Play And Record’s producer, Mike Sunshine said: "The studio was so loud during the Flit session that I vibrated off the desk and nearly fell through the trap door that leads to Scotland."  Lucky escape, Micky!


Flit-flat

In the hat

A bonkers bird

Or a leathery bat

Flip-flop

Hippity-hop

Big commotion

Will it stop?


Flit-flat

In the hat

A fighting dog

Or a titchy gnat

Flip-flop

Hippity-hop

If it howls or honks

Gonna call for a cop


Flit-flat

In the hat

A terrible troll

Or a fluffy cat

Flip-flop

Hippity-hop

I hope it’s not a dervish

Just a spinning top


Flit-flat

In the hat

Cute caterpillar

Or a sneaky rat

Flip-flop

Hippity-hop

If it’s only a dream

Then now it’s gonna stop!


Then a flash bang wallop

And a plip, plap, plop

And now it’s just me and the hat

And no flit-flat hip-hop hippity-hop…


Flit-flat what could it be

I wish he’d never come for tea

Flit-flat what a palaver

Wish he’d worn a balaclava
