Intro (Spoken / Callout) “Yeah man… roll it up, pass the leaf — red fire keep the spirit sweet!” Chorus Chew beetle nut — chew beetle nut! Stay awake, feel the fire rising up! Chew beetle nut — chew beetle nut! Under the island sun, we can’t get enough! Verse 1 Sun come shining through the bamboo leaves, Morning breeze, whisper love to me. Brother on the corner got his bundle tight, Red smile glowing in the golden light. Chorus Chew beetle nut — chew beetle nut! Keep the rhythm steady, never giving up! Chew beetle nut — chew beetle nut! From the mountain high to the ocean’s cup! Verse 2 Mama say, “Boy, it runs in your blood, Keep your faith strong and your hands with love.” Papa laugh, “Just a little’s enough!” But I’m rolling one more when the day gets tough. Chorus Chew beetle nut — chew beetle nut! Stay awake, feel the fire rising up! Chew beetle nut — chew beetle nut! Under the island sun, we can’t get enough! Verse 3 Spirit in the fruit, heart in the seed, Simple life feeding every need. When the night comes down and the stars light up, We’re singing, “Chew beetle nut!” with a faithful love. Final Chorus Chew beetle nut — chew beetle nut! Keep the rhythm steady, never giving up! Chew beetle nut — chew beetle nut! Under the island sun, we can’t get enough! Chew beetle nut — chew beetle nut! Keep the rhythm steady, never giving up! Chew beetle nut — chew beetle nut! Under the island sun, we can’t get enough! (Fade out with harmonies and percussion.)
