[Intro - Papa Michigan]
Out of sight, dynamite
Ready to make you feel alright
Is alright, is alright (But watch out, man)

[Verse 1 - Papa Michigan]
Jah, Mary-Mary, quite contrary

Say, how does di Rub-a-Dub flow? (Gal, a mi say)
How does di Rub-a-Dub flow?
Say, with your buddy side an' your dread at the mic
To make ya feel alright ya (So mi tell you)
Make a feel alright ya (But watch out, man)

[Chorus - Michigan & Smiley]
Cah, dis a music like dirt, Rub-a-Dub like sand
Say, music like dirt, Rub-a-Dub like sand
Say, not never nice like a version one
Say, not never nice like a version one
Cah, dis a engine, a engine a number nine
Engine, a engine a number nine
We rolling down Chicago line (Lord, I say)
Wе rolling down Chicago line
A next year arе nineteen seventy-nine
Next year are nineteen seventy-nine (Hey!)

[Verse 2 - Michigan & Smiley]
Di gal Caroline, say, she live cross the line
Di gal Caroline, say, she live cross the line
Some of dem say she a thirty-nine
Some of dem say she a fourty-nine
She just a walk from Pegasus to the Skyline
She just a walk from Pegasus to the Skyline
Well, it a sound my way to a foreign land
Here came a captain an' a general
Dem want fi carry-mi-go to station
Dem talkin' 'bout di rules an' regulation
Dem talkin' 'bout di rules an' regulation (Man!)
Cah, natty dread are the central part of mi life
Dread are the central part of mi life
So, let mi-make mi function (Make mi function)

Lord, say, every hour is a [?]
Lord, come-make we teach dem di story
Lord, about di "Musical Glory"

[Chorus - Michigan & Smiley]
Beca', di higher di mountain, di greener di grass
Di higher di mountain, di greener di grass
But, wider di river, it's a difficult to cross
Wider di river, it's a difficult to cross
Mi say, mi chattin' down to bum Eric Ross
Lord, mi say, mi chattin' down to bum Eric Ross

[Verse 3 - Michigan & Smiley]
Because-a Mary-Mary, quite contrary
Mary-Mary, quite contrary
Say, how does di Rub-a-Dub flow? (Gal, a mi say)
How does di Rub-a-Dub flow?
Say, with a glide pon di side an' a back to your walk
Well-a, heat to your feet, a little dub to your wrist
Say, that's di way how di Rub-a-Dub flow
Say, that's di way how di Rub-a-Dub flow (Say so!)

[Outro - Michigan & Smiley]
Is alright, is alright (Go there, Mitch, go there)
Go where? (In there, Mitch, in there)
In where?
In a di Rub-a-Dub style (Smiley)
In a di Rub-a-Dub style
Cah, dis a engine, a engine a number nine (Oh Lord!)
