Gm Gm C C
I was walkin' down the street

Gm Gm C C
I heard a dark voice beside of me

I saw four faces one mad

A A brother from the gutter

Well he looked down at my silver chain

I said you've got to be jokin' man

Gm Gm C C
It was a present from me mother


Gm Gm
He said I like it I want it

C C
I'll take it off your hands

Gm Gm
And you'll be sorry you crossed me

I hurried back the swimmin' pool

Gm Gm C C
Sinkin' pina coladas

Gm Gm C C
I heard a dark voice beside me say

Gm Gm C C
Would you like something harder

Gm Gm
She said I've got it you want it

My harvest is the best

And if you try it you'll like it

And wallow in a Dreadlock Holiday
And I say
