Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner Lyrics
[Chorus]
Guess who's coming to dinner
Natty dreadlock
Guess who's coming to dinner

[Verse 1]
Oh, I can see you brought some herb for me
Natty dreadlock
And Rasta near land Nyahbinghi Cudjoe are coming over the hills
Say, in time like this, we must live as one
So, the Book of Rule shall stand
Dreadlock, dreadlock
