Lyrics:

Don't take natty dread, don't take natty dread
For a puppy show, for a puppy show
Don't take natty dread, don't take natty dread
For a puppy show

Natty dread; be upright now
Natty dread; stand upright now
Don't stand in the gutter
And say you a suffer
Just be upright now
And wear your locks now (For)

Moses was a great man
The greatest leader ever trod this land
Lead Jah Jah children out of Babylon
And he; he was a natty dread

Natty dread; be upright now
Nayah man; stand upright now
Don't stand in the gutter
And say you a suffer
Just be upright now
And wear your locks now ('Cause)

Solomon was a wise man
The wisest man ever trod this land
He got wisdom, knowledge, understanding from Jah
He was a natty dread

Natty dread; be upright now
Nayah man; stand upright now
Don't stand in the gutter
And say you a suffer
Just be upright now
And wear your locks now

Don't take natty, don't take natty
For a puppy show, for a puppy show
Don't take natty, don't take natty
For a puppy show, for a puppy show

Natty dread; be upright now (Oh)
Nayah man; stand upright now
Don't stand in the gutter
And say you a suffer
Just be upright now
And wear your locks now (For)

Samson was a strong man
The strongest man ever trod this land
Beat down Babylon with a jawbone of an ox
And he; he was a natty dread

Natty dread; be upright now (Oh)
Nayah man; stand upright now
Don't stand in the gutter
And say you a suffer
Just be upright now
