[Intro]
Well, this is a tribute to the late great Bob Marley
He left us on di eleventh of May, nineteen eighty-one
So I'm about to tell it to each an' everyone
To make you understand (Hey)

[Chorus]
Mi wake up Monday morning on di eleventh of May
Mi hear a newsflash, mi said-a, around a Maypenn
An' listen Vance Watney an' also say
Dat di great Bob Marley pass away
Say, di great Bob Marley pass away
A Bob Marley was the king fi Reggae
