Lyrics
Roots, Rock, Reggae
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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:
Roots rock reggae!
Give it to me now, give it to me now
give me the roots rock reggae!
Some like jazz some like soul
some like blues or rock & roll.
Some like pop some like rock
some like house or hip hop.
When me operator 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 me.
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!
