Born to be lively, we're born to be lively.
Born to be lively, we're born to be lively.

So when you see Ziggy doing his thing,
That's why he was born
And when you see Steve doing his thing,
That's why he was born.
We're on a positive track today,
Well it's a positive track not trail.
We're on a positive track today,
Well it's a positive track not trail.

Nothing they do, can keep us down. (people move!)
Nothing they say, can stop this crowd. (people move!)
Nothing they do, can keep us down. (people move!)
Nothing they say, can stop this crowd. (people move!)

We rejoice in good times, yea,
We rejoice in bad times too, yea.
So no matter what's going down.
I say: Born fi lively push out your hand and move your body,
Face no bend up like no soldier,
Smile for the gal them make she feel irie.
Nuff niceness in a the Ras party, born, born, born, born fi irie.

Keep yourself high!
We're born to be lively, we're born to be lively.
You're born to be lively, you're born to be lively.
Ciddy's born to be lively, she's born to be lively.
Sharon's born to be lively, she's born to be lively.
So when you see Ciddy doing, Ciddy's doing her thing,
That's why she was born.
And when you see Sharon, Sharon's doing that thing,
We're on a positive track today,
Well it's a positive track not trail.
We're on a positive track today,
Well it's a positive track not trail, ey!

Nothing they do, can keep us down. (people move!)

So no matter what's going down.
I say: Born fi lively tell you again, although we tell you already.
Life off your tam and fly you natty,
Show me all the lady who is hotty hotty.
Nuff niceness in a the Ras party, born, born, born, born fi lively.

Keep yourself high! (keep yourself high!)
Keep yourself up now keep yourself high.

Born to be lively, we're born to be lively.
Said I'm having fun!
You're born to be lively, you're born to be lively.
Everyone having fun!
