(In second measure, bend two measures; bring it back down until
it hits its original note then strike 10 again.  Do this five times 
to make up the whole measure, I was too lazy to write it 5 times.)

Play this riff again, and then you play the first half before you go into
the chorus.

Lyrics to sing while playing the riff again:

1)What I've got you've got to get it put it in you.
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you.
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you.
Reeling with the feeling don't stop continue.

Relize I don't want to be a miser,
confide with sly you'll be the wiser.

2)Low brow but I rock a little know how.
No time for the piggies in the hoose-gow.
Get smart get down with the pow wow,
never been a better time than right now.

Bob Marley poet and a prophet,
Bob Marley taught me to off it.

3)My mom I love her cause she love me.
Long gone the times when she scrub me.
Feelin' good my brother gonna hug me.
Drink my juice young love chug-a-lug me.

There's a river born to be a giver.
Keep you warm won't let you shiver.
