[Instrumental - intro] [build up] (ambient waves) (guitar chank) Do you know da wae? (know da wae?) (hey) Do you know da wae? (know da wae?) Mi no know da wae (no, no) But we go find da wae (da wae) Yeah, we go find da wae [Verse 1] Palm trees sway like they know somethin’ funny Map in my pocket but it ain’t got no money Compass spin wild when the bassline hit I asked a crab for directions—(it just did a little bit) Coconut radio, island Wi-Fi weak Everybody pointin’ different, but the groove so sleek [Pre-Chorus] Left step, right step, follow da drum (follow da drum) If you got da clue, yo, tell me where from (where from) Hands up high, let the skank guitar play (whisper) Somebody… show mi… da wae [Chorus] Do you know da wae? (know da wae?) Mi no know da wae We must find da wae (da wae) Yeah, we must find da wae Can you show mi da wae? (show da wae) Can you show me, can you show me da wae? We gon’ find da wae (da wae) Oh we gon’ find, oh we gon’ find da wae [Post-Chorus] (hey-hey) Follow da bass, follow da clap (hey-hey) If you lose it, bring it right back (hey-hey) Everybody say “okay!” Found a sign that say “this way”—then it disappeared Met a pelican DJ, had the whole beach cheered He said, “Rule number one, don’t fight the tide Rule number two, let the groove decide” I tried go straight, ended up in a dance Now the whole crew movin’ like we in a trance [Pre-Chorus] Tiny lil’ clue in the whistle tone (whistle tone) Moonlight glow on the xylophone (ting-ting) Skank so tight, make the worry go away (whisper) Somebody… show mi… da wae [Chorus] Do you know da wae? (know da wae?) Mi no know da wae We must find da wae (da wae) Yeah, we must find da wae Can you show mi da wae? (show da wae) Can you show me, can you show me da wae? We gon’ find da wae (da wae) Oh we gon’ find, oh we gon’ find da wae [Interlude] (spoken, playful) If you see da wae, don’t keep it hidden Point it to the left, point it to the right (ha!) (half-time dub) Maybe da wae ain’t a place on a chart Maybe da wae is the rhythm in your heart So we laugh, we sway, we don’t run away (soft) We already in da wae [Final Chorus] Do you know da wae? (know da wae?) (say it again) Mi no know da wae (but we groovin’) We must find da wae (da wae) (no delay) Yeah, we must find da wae Can you show mi da wae? (show da wae) (hands up) Can you show me, can you show me da wae? We gon’ find da wae (da wae) (together) Oh we gon’ find, oh we gon’ find da wae Mi no know da wae But we go find da wae (da wae) (soft chant fading) da wae… da wae… da wae…
