What I've got you've got to give it to your mamma
What I've got you've got to give it to your pappa
What I've got you've got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you (x3)
Reeling with the feeling don't stop continue
I realize I don't want to be a miser
Confide wisely you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin' upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser
Give it away give it away give it away now (x3)
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper
Greedy little people in a sea of distress
Keep your more to receive your less
Unimpressed by material excess
Love is free love me say hell yes
Low brow but I rock a little know how
No time for the piggies or the hoosegow
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 how to off it
Bob Marley walkin' like he talk it
Goodness me can't you see I'm gonna cough it
Give it away give it away give it away now (x6)
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper
Lucky me swimmin' in my ability
Dancin' down on life with agility
Come and drink it up from my fertility
Blessed with a bucket of lucky mobility
My mom I love her cuz she love me
Long gone are the times when she scrub me
Feelin' good my brother gonna hug me
Drink up 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
His heart is never gonna wither
Come on everybody time to deliver
Give it away give it away give it away now (x3)
I can't tell iff I'm a king pin or a pauper
What I've got you've got to give it to your mamma
What I've got you've got to give it to your pappa
What I've got you've got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you (x3)
Reeling with the feeling don't stop continue
I realize I don't want to be a miser
confide with Sly you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin' upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser
Give it away give it away give it away now (x4)
Give it away now (x20)

vocal so increadibly funky, so incredible deep, so incredibly great. noone really realises the power of this song. when they play it live...words cannot describe...
i cannot ever try and describe the greatness of this song...it is too great for anyone to describe. and YES THIS SONG IS WEIRD...THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS ARE WEIRD...that is what makes them them. they are weird and inique and funky and great. no question. weird in a good way though. not weird as in bad. of course.
not the reference to a great actor near the end. one of the bands good friends especially flea. he died of a drug overdose on the way to hostpital after colapsing outside the knitting factory in la (i think) where john was playing. sad story but a great man.
