Song lyrics Easy skanking by Bob Marley

Easy skanking (skankinī it easy);
Easy skanking (skankinī it slow);
Easy skanking (skankinī it easy);
Easy skanking (skankinī it slow).

Excuse me while I light my spliff; (spliff)
Good God, I gotta take a lift: (lift)
From reality I just canīt drift; (drift)
Thatīs why I am staying with this riff. (riff)

Take it easy (easy skankinī);
Lord, I take it easy! (easy skankinī);
Take it easy (easy skankinī);
Got to take it easy (easy skankinī).
See: weīre takinī it easy (ooh-wah-da da-da)
We taking it slow, (ooh-wah-da da-da)
Takinī it easy (easy);
Got to take it slow (slow-slow)
So take it easy (easy skankinī - da-da-da-da-da-da)
Wo-oh, take it easy (easy skankinī)
Take it easy (easy skankinī - da-da-da-da-da-da)
Take it easy. (easy skankinī)

Excuse me while I light my spliff; (spliff)
Oh, God, I gotta take a lift: (lift)
From reality I just canīt drift; (drift)
Thatīs why I am staying with this riff. (riff)

Take it easy (takinī it easy);
Got to take it easy (takinī it slow);
Take it easy (takinī it easy);
Skanky, take it easy (takinī it slow).

Tell you what:
herb for my wine; (ooh-wa-da-da-da)
Honey for my strong drink; (ooh-wa-da-da-da)
Herb for my wine; (ooh-wa-da-da-da)
Honey for my strong drink.

I shake it easy (takinī it easy);
Skanky, take it easy (skankinī it slow);
Take it (takinī it easy) easy;
Take it (skankinī it slow) easy;
Take it easy (takinī it easy);
Oh-oh-ooh! (skankinī it slow);
Little bit easier (takinī it easy);
Skanky, take it easy (skankinī it slow).
Take it easy! Take it easy! Take it easy!
