Right across the floor
I like to do it to you
Till you holla for more
I like to reggae
But you dance too fast for me
I'd like to make love to you
So you can make me scream
Boogie on reggae woman

Fall deeply in love
I'd like to see you na...
Under the stars above

Fall deeply in love - yeah
I'd like to see you in the raw
Under the stars above
So boogie on reggae woman

Can I play? Can I play?

Let me do it to you
Boogie on reggae woman

Boogie On Reggae Woman
Phish's rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Boogie On Reggae Woman" captures the band's signature ability to reimagine classic pop through a jam-band lens. While the original 1974 track is a staple of Wonder's funk and soul catalog, Phish often expands the composition during live performances, allowing for extended improvisation that highlights their instrumental interplay. This recording from the December 7, 1997 show, featured on the Livephish release, showcases the group's dynamic energy and rhythmic precision. The performance reflects the band's broader discography, which frequently incorporates covers alongside original material to create a diverse sonic palette. By engaging with such a well-known work, Phish demonstrates their respect for musical history while injecting their own distinctive style into the arrangement.
