Roots, Rock, Reggae

If reggae music is the food of life

Play on, come down

Eh-hey

Eh-hey

When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I play

Roots, rock, reggae

From the month of June to the month of May

Roots, rock, reggae

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday

Roots, rock, reggae

And I know I'm gonna love it 'til I'm old and grey, eh-hey

Roots, rock, reggae

Give it to me now, give it to me now

Give me the roots, rock, reggae

Give it to me now, give it to me now

Give me the roots, rock, reggae

Eh-hey

Some like jazz, some like soul

Some like blues, or rock and roll

Some like pop, some like rock

Some like house, or hip hop

When me operator I put the music on the track

Me grab the mike and start chat

Man ina pants, woman ina frocks

Get on the dance floor and start rock

Time for certain lyrics that are lovey-dovey

Time for certain lyrics that are very funny

But when it comes to roots and reality

Just turn on the mike and give it to -

Give it to me now, give it to me now

Give me the roots, rock, reggae

Give it to me now, give it to me now

Give me the roots, rock, reggae

Eh-hey

The beat

Root, rock, reggae

Give me the root, rock, reggae

The beat

Now, reggae music was originated in Jamaica

By Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer

Just to mention a few 'cause there's many, many more

Who spread the message of love not war

That's why reggae music has gone so far

To Europe, China and Africa

Gone under in Australia and in America

There ain't no stopping the music of Jah!

Give it to me now, give me the root, rock, reggae

Give it to me now, give it to me now

Give me the roots, rock, reggae

Give it to me now, give it to me now

Give me the roots, rock, reggae

Eh-hey

Me now, give it to me now

Give me the roots, rock, reggae

Come down
