This generationRules the nationWith versionMusic happens to be the food of loveSounds to really make you rub and scrubDum-a-dum-a-dum-biddly-bum-biddly-bumBum-biddly-biddly-biddly-biddly-biddly-biddly-bumI sayPass the dutchie ''pon the left hand side (I say)Pass the dutchie ''pon the left hand sideIt a go doneGive me the music make me jump and pranceIt a go doneGive me the music make me rock in and the danceIt was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon(How does it feel when you got no food?)You could feel it ''cause it was the month of June(How does it feel when you got no food?)So I left my gate and went out for a walk(How does it feel when you got no food?)As I pass the dreadlocks'' camp I heard them say(How does it feel when you got no food?)Pass the dutchie ''pon the left hand side (I say)Pass the dutchie ''pon the left hand sideIt a go doneGive me the music make me jump and pranceIt a go doneGive me the music make me rock in and the danceBum-bum-biddly-bum-biddly-bum-bum-bum-biddly-bum-biddly-biddly-bumYeahSo I stopped to find out what was going on(How does it feel when you got no food?)''Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on(How does it feel when you got no food?)There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing(How does it feel when you got no food?)And you could feel the chill as I seen and heard them say(How does it feel when you got no food?)Pass the dutchie ''pon the left hand side (I say)Pass the dutchie ''pon the left hand sideIt a go doneGive me the music make me jump and pranceIt a go doneGive me the music make me rock in and the dance''Cause me say listen to the drummerMe say listen to the bassGive me little musicMake me wind up me waistMe say listen to the drummerMe say listen to the bassGive me little musicMake me wind up me waistI sayPass the dutchie ''pon the left hand side (I say)Pass the dutchie ''pon the left hand sideIt a go doneGive me the music make me jump and pranceIt a go doneGive me the music make me rock in and the danceYou play it on the radioA so me sayWe a go hear it on the stereoA so me knowWe a go play it on the discoA so me sayWe a go hear it on the stereoOh!Pass the dutchie ''pon the left hand side (I say)Pass the dutchie ''pon the left hand sideIt a go doneGive me the music make me jump and pranceIt a go doneGive me the music make me rock in and the danceOn the left hand side (I say)On the left hand side (I say)On the left hand sideOn the left hand sideOn the left hand side Well, me say East, say West(On the left hand side) Say North and SouthThis is gonna really make us (On the left hand side) jump and shoutWell, me say East, say West(On the left hand side) Say North and South(This is gonna really make us jump and shout) Pass the dutchie ''pon the left hand side
