Every Tub Songtext
von Jimmy Cliff

Eeeee bam bam bam
Every tub hafe sit on its own bottom
Every man hafe stand on his own two feet
Every tub hafe sit on its own bottom
Every man hafe stand on his own two feet

Well I know I am your brother
And we′re servants for each other
So we got to pull together
Inna any kind of weather
Yes its one a-watch the other
And we got to live together
But don't be a lazy bum
Or you will end up inna slum because

Every tub hafe sit on its own bottom
Every man hafe stand on his own two feet
Every tub hafe sit on its own bottom
Every man hafe stand on his own two feet


In this continuous chain of life
Everyone must play a part
What you say from your mouth
You should mean it in your heart
We′re leaning on each other
And we must understand
So you bear me up I'll bear you up
For the good of everyone cos

Every tub hafe sit on its own bottom
Every man hafe stand on his own two feet
Every tub hafe sit on its own bottom
Every man hafe stand on his own two feet

Well, every man for himself
And God for us all
If I see you start to stumble
I'll catch you before you fall
But you got to help yourself
Before you help someone else
If you don′t do for self
You can′t turn to no one else because

Every tub hafe sit on its own bottom
Every man hafe stand on his own two feet
Yes, every tub hafe sit on its own bottom
Every man hafe stand on his own two feet

Bam bam bam now now now now now now now


Every tub hafe sit on its own bottom
Every man hafe stand on his own two feet
Yes, every tub hafe sit on its own bottom
Every man hafe stand on his own two feet

Well, I know I am your brother
And we're servants for each other
So we got to pull together
Inna any kind of weather
Yes a-one a-watch the other
And we got to live together
But don′t be a lazy bum
Or you'll end up inna slum because

Every tub hafe sit on its own bottom
Every man hafe stand on his own two feet
