I stand up for my right
I wanna smoke my pipe
World would be a paradise
Legalize it, legalize!

I'm coming from Jamaica
This land I really lika - a
I'm the greatest musicclown
From old Kingston-Town

But now I'm jetzt in Europ-a
My head is full with dope-a
I make mir Zöpfchen in my Haar
And look as a Rastafa

Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh!

Reggae, Reggae!

If you are a Rasta-man
You can make a lot of Zaster then
You climb the charts up easily
With this simple philosophy:
I wanna (i wanna), I wanna (i wanna) smoke Marihuana. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
I wanna (i wanna), I wanna (i wanna) smoke Marihuana. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

Now I'm a little Rastafa
With a lot of Knotel in my haar
Ob Dope oder Jamaica Rum
I wanna be in Delirium

Now I've to tell you and it is true
To smoke is what we have to do
Oh for a world in harmony
That's my philosophy:

I wanna (i wanna), I wanna (i wanna) smoke Marihuana. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
I wanna (i wanna), I wanna (i wanna) smoke Marihuana. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

And now, listen people
I've something to tell you
Maybe there are problems
In this world, war, rassism
And I - I don't know

Maybe it's a bad world
But I don't want to see it
Oh no, no, no!
All we have to do is to smile
Yeah, to smoke
And you kick your troubles away like a coconut
Yeah, you see, it's easy!
And now, you buy my new record
And sing this little song with me
Okay, come on all!
With this beautiful Reggae-Melody
And this stupid philosophy
Yeah, and it goes like this
Huh, come on!

I wanna (i wanna), I wanna (i wanna) smoke Marihuana. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
I wanna (i wanna), I wanna (i wanna) smoke Marihuana. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Yes, I wanna (i wanna), I wanna (i wanna) smoke Marihuana. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
I wanna, I wanna, smoke Marihuana. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
