LYRICS

I love King Selassie,
I love King Selassie I,
I love King Selassie,
I love King Selassie I, I.
I love King Selassie red, oh yeah.
I love King Selassie I gold.
I love King Selassie I green, oh yeah.
Said, I love everything, that is clean.

So I say,
I love King Selassie,
I love King Selassie I,
I love King Selassie,
I love King Selassie I, I.

He's the only man in flesh,
Whom you can't look in the eyes.
From the first time I know, Jah Jah,
He is so divine.
He is called as a Lamb,

I love King Selassie,
I love King Selassie I,
I love King Selassie,
I love King Selassie I, I.

To remove their sins thereof,
Jah Jah the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords,

Conquering Lion of Ethiopia, oh yeah.

I love King Selassie,
I love King Selassie I,
I love King Selassie,
I love King Selassie I, I.

Useless praying to the Spirit,
Because the Spirit is within, the flesh of human kind, oh yeah,
So their God is an illusion, the Spirit is an illusion.

So I say,
I love King Selassie,
I love King Selassie I,
I love King Selassie,
I love King Selassie I, I.
