[Chorus]
Take it easy
Easy, natty dread, an' take it easy
Take it easy an' don't you get jumpy
So take your time, take your time, youthman
Take your time, take your time an' don't get bummy (Hey)
[Verse 1]
If Humpty Dumpty had known that he was gonna fall
He wouldn't have gone an' sat on the wall
A lot of false rush behave like a clown
We do many things, we don't even think
When we get involved, said, if we had know
But its too late, gonna be a crime
Mi said, it too late, gonna be a crime
Jah man, wе can achieve our goals
If we rеally-really-really-really try-a
[Chorus]
Take it easy
Easy, natty dread, an' take it easy (I tell you about it!)
Take it easy an' don't you get jumpy (Hey)
So take your time, take your time, youthman
Take your time, take your time an' don't get bummy (I tell you dis)
[Verse 2]
Look before you leap, beg you, creep before you walk
But-a humble before you talk an' no bother skylark
Di longest journey begins but with a step
Forgive an' forget an' you won't regret
Man, if you're walkin' in di rain then you must get wet
[Chorus]
Take it easy
Easy, natty dread, an' take it easy
Take it easy an' don't you get jumpy
A take your time, take your time, youthman
A take your time, take your time an' don't get bummy
But watch out, man
[Verse 3]
If you offend the law of di country
You will surely end up in jail
You supposed to know by now, my friend
Dat you would-a never get no bail
So you sit down everyday an' stay true di real
Your pit an' your cry will be of no vain
[Chorus]
Take it easy
Easy, natty dread, an' take it easy
Easy an' don't you get jumpy
A take your time, take your time, youthman
A take your time, take your time an' don't get bummy
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Take it easy
Easy, natty dread, an' take it easy
Easy an' don't you get jumpy
A take your time, take your time, youthman
A take your time, take your time an' don't get bummy
[Verse 4]
If Humpty Dumpty had known that he was gonna fall
He wouldn't have gone an' sat on the wall
A lot of false rush an' behave like a clown
We do many things, we don't even think
When we get involved, we said, if we had know
But it too late, shall be a crime
I said, it too late, gonna be a crime
Jah man, we can achieve our goals
If we really-really-really-really try-a
