Pass The Dutchie

This generation

Rules the nation

With version

Music happens to be the food of love

Sounds to really make you rub and scrub

Dum-a-dum-a-dum-biddly-bum-biddly-bum

Bum-biddly-biddly-biddly-biddly-biddly-biddly-bum

I say

Pass the dutchie 'pon the left hand side (I say)

Pass the dutchie 'pon the left hand side

It a go done

Give me the music make me jump and prance

It a go done

Give me the music make me rock in and the dance

It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon

(How does it feel when you got no food?)

You could feel it 'cause it was the month of June

(How does it feel when you got no food?)

So I left my gate and went out for a walk

(How does it feel when you got no food?)

As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I heard them say

(How does it feel when you got no food?)

Pass the dutchie 'pon the left hand side (I say)

Pass the dutchie 'pon the left hand side

It a go done

Give me the music make me jump and prance

It a go done

Give me the music make me rock in and the dance

Bum-bum-biddly-bum-biddly-bum-bum-bum-biddly-bum-biddly-biddly-bum

Yeah

So I stopped to find out what was going on

(How does it feel when you got no food?)

'Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on

(How does it feel when you got no food?)

There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing

(How does it feel when you got no food?)

And you could feel the chill as I seen and heard them say

(How does it feel when you got no food?)

'Cause me say listen to the drummer

Me say listen to the bass

Give me little music

Make me wind up me waist

Me say listen to the drummer

Me say listen to the bass

Give me little music
