Lyrics:

Bakerman is baking bread

Bakerman is baking bread

Sagabona kunjani wena

Sagabona kunjani wena

The night train is coming

Got to keep on running

The night train is coming

Got to keep on running

Bakerman is baking bread

Bakerman is making bread

Sagabona kunjani wena

Sagabona kunjani wena

The night train is coming

The night train, it is coming

Bakerman is baking bread

Sagabona kunjani wena

Bakerman is baking bread

Take it easy

You've got to cool down, take it easy

You've got to cool down, relax, take it easy

Slow down (slow down), relax (relax)

It's too late to worry

Slow down (slow down)

Take it easy

Take it easy

SongFacts:

The Danish duo Laid Back sang "Relax take it easy, Slow down relax." Bakerman's drug reference seems obvious to many: the baking of bread as a reference to the rolling of a joint. It's just not that simple, after all, Laid Back had previously released "White Horse", an anti-drug song. In this respect, keyboarder Tim Stahl and guitarist John Guldberg aka Laid Back don't pass for drug friends.
