This generation
rules the nation
with version
Music happens to be
the food of love
Sounds to really make
you rub and scrub
I say
Pass the Dutchie on
the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie
on the left hand side
Give me the music
make me jump
and prance
Give me the music
Get me rockin'
at the dance
It was a cool and
lovely breezy afternoon
You could feel it
'cos it was
the month of June
So I left my gate and
went out for a walk
As I pass the
dreadlocks' camp
I heard them say
Pass the Dutchie
on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie
on the left hand side
Give me the music
make me jump
and prance
Give me the music
Get me rockin'
at the dance
So I stopped to
find out what
was going on
'Cos the spirit of Jah,
you know he
leads you on
There was a ring of
dreads and a session
was there in swing
You could feel the
chill as I seen and
heard them say
Pass the Dutchie on
the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie
on the left hand side
Give me the music
make me jump
and prance
Give me the music
Get me rockin'
at the dance
'Cos me say listen
to the drum, a me say
listen to the bass
Give me little music
Let me wind up
me waist
Me say listen
to the drum,
a me say listen
to the bass
Give me little music
make me wind up
me waist
Pass the Dutchie on
the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie
on the left hand side
Give me the music
make me jump
and prance
Give me the music
Get me rockin'
at the dance
You play it
on the radio
A so me say,
we a go hear it
on the stereo
A so me know
you a go play it
on the disco
A so me say
we a go hear it
on the stereo
Pass the Dutchie
on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie
on the left hand side
Give me the music
make me jump
and prance
Give me the music
Get me rockin'
at the dance
On the left hand side
On the left hand side
On the left hand side
On the left hand side
On the left hand side
I say east, say west
say north and south
This is gonna really
make me jump up
And we say east,
say west
say north and south
