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/
