Lively Up Yourself Lyrics

You're gonna lively up yourself, and don't be no drag
you lively up yourself 'cause reggae is another bag
you lively up yourself, and don't say, "no"
you're gonna lively up yourself 'cause i said so!
Hear what you gonna do
you rock so, you rock so, like you never did before, yeah!
you dip so, you dip so: dip through my door
you come so, you come so, oh yeah!
you skank so, you skank so: be alive today!
You're gonna lively up yourself, and don't say, "no"
you lively up yourself, big daddy says so, y'all!
you lively up yourself, and don't be no drag
you lively up yourself 'cause reggae is another bag
What you got that i don't know?
i'm a-trying to wonder - wonder - wonder why you
wonder - wonder why you act so. yeah!
Hey, do you hear what the man seh?
lively up your(self) - your woman in the morning time, y'all!
wa! keep a liv'lin' up your woman when the evening come
and take ya* - take ya - take ya - take ya-a-a!
come on, baby! 'cause i wanna be lively myself, y'all!
(organ, saxophone and guitar solo)
lively up yourself
lively up yourself
you want to rock so, you rock so
(saxophone solo)
you rock so, you rock so
you dip so, you dip so
you skank so, you skank so, and don't be no drag!
you come so, you come so, for reggae is another bag!
Get what you got in that bag!
what you got in d' other bag you got hanging there?
what you say you got?
i don't believe you!

Bob Marley and the Wailers (BMW) was a Jamaican reggae band 1974-1981) lead by Rastafarian Bob Marley (1945-1981) when Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer left the old band, The Wailers. BMW, consisted of Marley himself as song writer and lead singer, 6-7 regular musicians in Wailers Band and the I Threes backup female vocalists. It is the most prosperous reggae band ever with +75 million record sales, known for songs like One Love, I Shot The Sheriff, Natural Mystic. Stir It Up, No Woman No Cry, Exodus and Get Up Stand Up.

The band included Carlton Barrett on drums – Aston "Family Man" Barrett bass – Junior Marvin and Al Anderson on lead guitar – Tyrone Downie and Earl "Wire" Lindo on keyboards – Alvin "Seeco" Patterson on percussion. The I Threes, consisted of Bob Marley's wife Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt and Marcia Griffiths.

Often, usually for marketing purposes, Bob Marleys name alone, or the name Bob Marley and the Wailers, are used indiscriminately to refer to recordings made before 1974, during reggae, rocksteady and ska eras, made by The Wailers (Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer (real name: Neville Livingston)) with different accompaniment musicians.
