Tekst piosenki
[Intro]
This generation
Rules the nation
With version
Music happen to be the food of love
Sounds to really make you rub and scrub
(scatting) I say
[Hook]
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
It a go bun, give me the music, make me jump and prance
It a go dung, give me the music, make me rockin’ at the dance
(Jah know!)
[Verse 1]
It was a cool and lonely breezy afternoon
(How does it feel when you’ve got no food?)
You could feel it cause it was the month of June
(How does it feel when you’ve got no food?)
So I left my gate and went out for a walk
(How does it feel when you’ve got no food?)
As I pass the dreadlocks’ camp I heard them say
(How does it feel when you’ve got no food?)
[Hook]
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
It a go bun, give me the music, make me jump and prance
It a go dung, give me the music, make me rockin’ at the dance
(Jah know!)
(scatting)
[Verse 2]
So I stopped to find out what was going on
(How does it feel when you’ve got no food?)
Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on
(How does it feel when you’ve got no food?)
There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing
(How does it feel when you’ve got no food?)
You could feel the chill as I seen and heard them say
(How does it feel when you’ve got no food?)
[Hook]
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
It a go bun, give me the music, make me jump and prance
It a go dung, give me the music, make me rockin’ at the dance
(Jah know!)
[Bridge 1]
Now me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist
Me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist, I say
[Hook]
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
It a go bun, give me the music, make me jump and prance
It a go dung, give me the music, make me rockin’ at the dance
(Jah know!)
[Bridge 2]
You play it on the radio
And so me say, we a go hear it on the stereo
And so me know you a go play it on the disco
And so me say, we a go hear it on the stereo
[Hook]
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
It a go bun, give me the music, make me jump and prance
It a go dung, give me the music, make me rockin’ at the dance
(Jah know!)
[Outro]
I say east, say west, say north and south
This is gonna really make us jump and shout
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
„Pass The Dutchie” to nominowany do nagrody Grammy wydany we wrześniu 1982 roku międzynarodowy singiel brytyjsko-jamajskiego zespołu Musical Youth, który został oparty na piosence The Mighty Diamonds „Pass The Koutchie” połączonej z elementami piosenki reggae „Gimme The Music” U Browna i „Rule The Nation” jamajskiego wokalisty U-Roya. Piosenka została wydana w ramach albumu „The Youth of Today.”
Oryginalna piosenka „Pass The Koutchie” została napisana o marihuanie, ale ponieważ Musical Youth byli wówczas dziećmi, jej narkotykowy slang został zastąpiony odniesieniami do jedzenia. Na przykład koutchie, slangowe określenie garnka, w którym przechowywana jest marihuana, zmieniło się w Dutchie, slangowe określenie holenderskiego garnka do duszenia, a zioło, czyli marihuana stało się jedzeniem. Różne wersy z „Gimme The Music” U Browna, zostały wkomponowane pomiędzy zmienionymi tekstami „Pass The Koutchie.”
