When a lion is sleeping, never try to wake him, baby
Now hear me spin originally this song
A track from the scene from a record machine
Tell you 'bout a girl called Jean, yeah yeah
Jean's mother said that I
She must be mad, yo
Should leave her alone
Till I want it to me get me on the scene
And I tell you that I
Natty dread don't jesta, yeah
And him no wear polyester
Sing natty dread don't jesta
Move, yo
No come from Manchester
When him go check Missa Festa
Missa Deli don't say that, yeah
'Cause boy, you shouldn't do that
Missa Deli don't say that
Move, I say you shouldn't never say that
There's the ring
So you can tell her anything you want
But I'll never let her out of my sight
Tell her how much I
Missa Randy something
And so me say you shouldn't do that, yeah
Natty dread don't jesta
And him no wear polyester
See natty rich and a poor us, Lord
See natty dread don't jesta
What the hell your name dread?
See gone up the big hill
And natty dread don't jesta
Gone down a Manchester
See natty dread don't jesta
Singing wine is a makka and a strong drink is rage
If you drink white rum and you tumble down
Natty dread don't
Believe in promises
'Cause promises can fool madely
A promise is a comfort to a fool
And that even want to keep you cool
I say that you should never
Natty dread don't jesta
Natty higher Congo higher natty
Natty Congo dread don't jesta
When the chickens a chester
But natty dread don't jesta
Say little boy, you shouldn't say that
Now little guy, you shouldn't do that
If I want to follow or you never
To trouble trouble and a trouble 'round trouble you
Don't you, don't you ever
Get to trouble with the natty dread
Don't you say what we say
Natty dread don't jesta
We no say what you say and we no wear polyester
Oh, jesta ring
Check sin sing the rage of wind
And we check one view him a do have to do
Natty dread don't jesta
Natty dread don't jesta
Me say we go check blue sea
Him a enter the dragon and him
And natty dread don't jesta
Pretty high tall stuff
Sing natty dread, natty dread, natty dread
Natty dread, natty dread, natty dread
Natty dread don't jesta
