This one will make you go on like a dum dup
So don't you blum dup
Yes Mr. Stevie Wonder
I met a boy 'round Ed O'Sull
He said he wanted me to know
That he didn't like suits
He didn't like girls
He didn't like going to school
But when he said he didn't like reggae
I just had to loose my cool
I said whatcha talking 'bout?
You say you don't like the reggae beat?
Whatcha talking 'bout?
You say you don't like the reggae beat?
You must be craaazee, crazy
I met a man who stopped to chat
Told me where he was really at
He said he didn't like cars
He didn't like planes
He didn't like anything fast
But when he said he didn't like reggae
In his face I had to laugh
I said whatcha talking 'bout?
You say you don't like the reggae beat?
Whatcha talking 'bout?
You say you don't like the reggae beat?
You must be craaazee, crazy
Crazy, you must be
Maybe they were just tired
You know, people get restless all the time
But I know some way that being tired
Can make you talk right out of your mind
A lady 99 years young
Said you must listen to me son
She said I don't like pop
I don't like soul
I don't like rocking and rolling
But when she said she didn't like reggae
I lost all of my control
I said whatcha talking 'bout?
You say you don't like the reggae beat?
Whatcha talking 'bout?
You say you don't like the reggae beat?
You must be craaazee, crazy
Maybe they were just angry
Tempers get lost far too much
But I got the perfect sanity for anger
And what if it is, it's the reggae tune
While talking to my fiancée
Making plans for our wedding day
She said I don't like John
I don't like Jim, I don't like none of your friends
But when she said she didn't like reggae
I knew our love would have to end
I said whatcha talking 'bout?
You say you don't like the reggae beat?
Whatcha talking 'bout?
You say you don't like the reggae beat?
You must be craaazee, crazy
Crazy, you must be
I said whatcha talking 'bout?
Say you don't like the reggae beat?
Whatcha talking 'bout?
Say you don't like the reggae beat?
You must be craaazee, crazy
Crazy, you must be
