*from 'Kaya' (1978)*
Chorus 1:
Easy Skanking, (skanking it easy),
Easy Skanking, (skanking it slow).
Easy Skanking, (skanking it easy),
Easy Skanking, (skanking it slow).
Verse 1:
Ex-cuse me while I light my spliff,
Oh God, I got to take a lift.
From re-ality I just can't drift,
That's why I'm staying with this riff.
Chorus 2:
Take it easy, (Easy Skanking),
Lord, now take it easy, (Easy Skanking).
Take it easy, (Easy Skanking),
Got to take it easy. See...
Bridge 1:
We're taking it easy, (ooh, wah, da, da, da),
We're taking it slow, (ooh, wah, da, da, da).
Taking it easy (easy), got to take it slow, so...
Chorus 3:
Take it easy, (Easy Skanking),
Lord, now take it easy, (Easy Skanking).
Could you be easy? (Easy Skanking),
Got to take it easy.
Verse 2:
Ex-cuse me while I light my spliff,
Oh God, I got to take a lift.
From re-ality I just can't drift,
That's why I'm staying with this riff.
Chorus 4:
Take it easy, (taking it easy),
Got to take it easy, (taking it slow).
Take it easy, (taking it easy),
Skanky take it easy, (taking it slow). Tell you what...

Herb for my wine, (ooh, wah, da, da, da),
Honey for my strong drink, (ooh, wah, da, da, da).
Herb for my wine, honey for my strong drink.

Easy Skanking, (skanking it easy),
Easy Skanking, (skanking it slow).
Easy Skanking, (skanking it easy),
Easy Skanking, (skanking it slow).
