And I know I'm gonna love it
'til I'm old and [Am]grey:
Roots [Em]rock reggae!

[Verse 2]
[Em]Give it to me now, give it to me now

[Verse 3]
Some like [Em]jazz some like [G]soul[Em]
some like blues or [G]rock [Em]& roll.
Some like pop some like [G]rock
[A]some lik[G]e hou[Em]se or hip hop[G].
[Em]When me [G]operator [Em]put
the music [G]on the track
[Em]me grab the mike and start chat.[G]
[Em]Man ina pants woman ina froc[G]ks[Em]
get on the dance floor and [G]start rock.
Time for certain lyrics [Em]that
are lovey [G]dovey
