[Verse 1]
Right [C]here and now, ladies and gentlemen,
I'd like to introduce for you a
very soulful brother,
soul brother number one,
from Kingston, Jamaica way.
Thank you ever so kindly.
I'm here with my reggae machine,
and I'm gonna do you some
good
in the neighborhood like I should.
Hey, wait a minute, I hear a sound.
That sounds like organ.
Let me hear some drums
to go with it, please.
Come on [Em]now.
[C]That sounds good!
How about some swinging guitar?
Please Mr. Guitars, let [Em]me hear you.
[Eb]Ay -ay -ay, ba[C]by, that s[F]ounds like i[C]t.
But let me hear [Eb]some pian[C]o.
You can't sit on the keyboard.
Put your finger on [Em]it.
Come [Eb]on.
[Em]Ay, thank [C]you.[Em]
But I can[C]'t do it without [Eb]the bass.
[C]Come on, bassy.
Move those fingers.
Let me hear it. [Em]Swing.
Ay [Eb]-ay -[E]ay, now you're doing your thing.
That sounds [Eb]like the thing.
[F]Guitars, give me [E]them reggae guitar,
[Eb]please.
Aye, aye, [E]aye.
Man, it sounds [Eb]pretty.
It's just fabulous.
[E]I can't stand to listen to that thing.
[Eb]Throw me way out of my mind.
Come [E]on now, go ahead.
Now [Eb]shake it, fellas.
Shake it well.
And then [C]start.
Aye, that's it.
Now we got Desmond [B]Decker
[C]an d the Hasty [E]thing.
And [C]they're gonna do their thing
[B]with the reggae [C]recipe.

[B]You know I wonder why
the grass [C]is green
[B]and why the wind is never seen
Who taught the [C]birds to build their nest
and told [G]the trees to [C]take a rest
And when the moon is not
quite round tell me
Where can the missing bits be found
It can be [B]found in the [C]Reggae Recipe
Come on [C]fellas, do your thing
[B]Come on, [C]let me hear you
