Lyrics
Jamaica

I want to go to Jamaica, I think maybe you should go too
I want to go to Jamaica, I want to go with you
I want to go to Jamaica, down where the sky is always blue
I want to go to Jamaica, I want to go with you

We could sit on the beach in the sun
Or we could sail the sea
I want to taste some Jamaican rum
Then let everything be

I want to go to Jamaica, I think maybe you should go too
I want to go to Jamaica, I want to go with you
And it would be like paradise
Under the tropical sun
Nothing would be so nice
As Jamaica, you, and me

Under the shade of the swaying palms
We could eat some plantainos
I want to hear Belafonte?s song
I think is called ?Day-O?

I want to go to Jamaica, I think maybe you should go too
I want to go to Jamaica, I want to go with you
And it would be like paradise
Under the tropical sun
Nothing would be so nice
As Jamaica, you, and me

We could dance in the firelight
To that crazy reggae beat
Stay up and party all the night
And in the day time sleep

I want to go to Jamaica, I think maybe you should go too
I want to go to Jamaica, I want to go with you
And it would be like paradise
Under the tropical sun
Nothing would be so nice
As Jamaica, you, and me
