Easy skanking (skankin' it easy)
Easy skanking (skankin' it slow)
Easy skanking (skankin' it easy)
Easy skanking (skankin' it slow).
Excuse me while I light my spliff; (spliff)
Good God, I gotta take a lift (lift)
From reality I just can't drift (drift)
That's why I am staying with this riff. (riff)
Take it easy (easy skankin')
Lord, I take it easy! (easy skankin')
Take it easy (easy skankin')
Got to take it easy (easy skankin')
See, we're takin' it easy (ooh-wah-da da-da)
We taking it slow, (ooh-wah-da da-da)
Takin' it easy (easy);
Got to take it slow (slow-slow)
So take it easy (easy skankin' - da-da-da-da-da-da)
Wo-oh, take it easy (easy skankin')
Take it easy (easy skankin' - da-da-da-da-da-da)
Take it easy. (easy skankin')
Excuse me while I light my spliff
Oh, God, I gotta take a lift
From reality I just can't drift
That's why I am staying with this riff.
Take it easy (taking it easy)
Got to take it easy (taking it slow)
Take it easy (taking it easy)
Skanky, take it easy (taking it slow).
Tell you what
Herb for my wine (ooh-wa-da-da-da)
Honey for my strong drink (ooh-wa-da-da-da)
Herb for my wine (ooh-wa-da-da-da)
Honey for my strong drink.
I shake it easy (takin' it easy)
Skanky, take it easy (skankin' it slow)
Take it (takin' it easy) easy
Take it (skankin' it slow) easy
Take it easy (takin' it easy)
Oh-oh-ooh! (skankin' it slow)
Little bit easier (takin' it easy)
Skanky, take it easy (skankin' it slow)
Take it easy! Take it easy! Take it easy!
