Follow Fashion Monkey Lyrics - Singles - Bunny Wailer

Git up you Black yankies 

Dont be no Follow Fashion Monkey 

(Rep.) 

Follow follow follow fashion monkeys 

Never drink good soup 

So drink the water from your own stream 

Before you loose your roots your roots, your roots 

Shala-wala walab-shah-shab 

Shab-sha-shala-wala-walab-shab sha. 

Dont like the way you hold back from me 

Just give me the vibes I need cause I'm ready 

Dont like the way you hold back from me, 

Just give me the vibes I need cause I'm ready 

Be your self and no one else 

its time you stop your adaptions 

then you'll know the truth is in 

you and learn to make your own decision 

So git up you Black yankies 

Dont be no follow fashion monkeys 

(Rep.) 

I've seen you play the games of 

Lead and I'll follow, so many times before 

Now I'd just like your attention 

To borrow to get my message 

through your doors, your doors, your doors 

Shala-wala-wala-wala-shab-shab 

Shab-sha shala-wala walab shab 

There's too much barriers 

Between you and I 

Tho' we're both of the same kind 

It's the same current that runs through our minds 

So trap your egos' to mine. 

Stop a while and keep your cool and 

Listen to what I'm saying 

Tho I know temptation strong 

You'll reap the treasure of knowing 

Then you'll start growing, growing, growing. 

Dread up thats your culture 

Live up thats life, dont let devil use you 

For all them shining precious stones 

They're gonna rub right off 

So dont let them fool you 

Please dont let them fool you, fool you fool you 

So git up you Black yankies 

Don't be no follow fashion monkeys 

(Rep.)
