Answer 1

They told you already, so heres the lyrics


This generation
Rules the nation
With version

Music happen to be the food of love
Sounds to really make you rub and scrub

I say: Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel it 'cause it was the month of June
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
So I left my gate and went out for a walk
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

So I stopped to find out what was going on.
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
'Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel the chill as I seen and heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)

Me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist, I say

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side

A so me know you a go play it on the disco
A so me say we a go hear it on the stereo

This is gonna make us jump and shout (on the left hand side)

Answer 2

Yup, it is a big old fat joint stuffed with marijuana. It refers to the infamous POT CIRCLE that often forms when people are getting stoned and that it is polite and proper to pass the joint to the left. You ever see THAT '70's SHOW? Whenever they are getting stoned in the circle, the Dutchie is always going to the left. It is nice to see the producers of that show pay attention to pot circle etiquette!!!

Answer 3

Dutchie is "cooking pot". The original was "Pass the Koochie" like someone else said. "Koochie" is marijuana.

Answer 4
