Natty Dreadlock in a Babylon: (Natty Dread) 
A dreadlock Congo Bongo I. (Natty Dread) 
Eh! Children get your culture (Natty Dreadlock)

Or the battle will be hotter (Natty Dreadlock) 
And you won't get no supper. (Natty Dreadlock)

And then I walk up the second street to see. (Natty

Then I trod on through third street, (Natty Dreadlock) 
And then I talk to some Dread on fourth street. (Natty

Natty Dreadlock in a fifth street, (Natty Dreadlock) 
And then I skip one fence to sixth street. (Natty

For Natty to be from home.
