Easy Skanking Lyrics

[Bob Marley]

            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;      (spliff)
            Oh, 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 (takin' it easy);
            Got to take it easy (takin' it slow);
            Take it easy (takin' it easy);
            Skanky, take it easy (takin' 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!   /fadeout/
