You´re gonna lively up yourself, and don´t be no drag;
You lively up yourself ´cause reggae is another bag.
You lively up yourself, and don´t say, "No";
You´re gonna lively up yourself ´cause I said so!

Hear what you gonna do:
You rock so, you rock so, like you never did before, yeah!
You dip so, you dip so: dip through my door.
You come so, you come so, oh yeah!
You skank so, you skank so: be alive today!

You´re gonna lively up yourself, and don´t say, "No";
You lively up yourself, big daddy says so, y´all!
You lively up yourself, and don´t be no drag;
You lively up yourself ´cause reggae is another bag.

What you got that I don´t know?
I´m a-trying to wonder - wonder - wonder why you -
wonder - wonder why you act so. Yeah!

Hey, do you hear what the man seh?
Lively up your(self) - your woman in the morning time, y´all!
Wa! Keep a liv´lin´ up your woman when the evening come
And take ya* - take ya - take ya - take ya-a-a!
Come on, baby! ´Cause I wanna be lively myself, y´all!

Lively up yourself;
Lively up yourself.
You want to rock so, you rock so:

/solo de saxòfon/


You rock so, you rock so;
You dip so, you dip so;
You skank so, you skank so, and don´t be no drag!
You come so, you come so, for reggae is another bag!

Get what you got in that bag!
What you got in d´ other bag you got hanging there?
What you say you got?
I don´t believe you!
