Jimmy Cliff - Every Tub lyrics



Every tub afi sit on his own bottom
Every man afi stand on his own two feet x2

Well I know am your brother
And we’re servants for each other
So we got to pull up 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 bone
Or you’ll end up Inna slumber

CHORUS
Every tub afi sit on his own bottom
Every man afi stand on his own two feet x2

In this continuous chain of life
Every one must ply a part
What you say from you mouth
You should mean if in your heart
We’re leaning on each other
So you must understand
If you bear me up I’ll bear you up
For the good of every one

CHORUS
Every tub afi sit on his own bottom
Every man afi stand on his own two feet x2

Every man for himself
And God for us all
If I see you start to tumble
I’ll catch you before you fall
But you got to help yourself
Before you help someone else
If you don’t do for yourself
You cant turn to no one else

CHORUS
Every tub afi sit on his own bottom
Every man afi stand on his own two feet x2

Well I know am your brother
And we’re servants for each other
So we got to pull up 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 bone
Or you’ll end up Inna slumber

CHORUS
Every tub afi sit on his own bottom
Every man afi stand on his own two feet x2
