Every day I read ads in the papers, sayin' "Come to islands.
Bikini ladies, sweet rum drinks and they'll keep you smilin'."
I got Calypso music on my record at home.
When it comes to the warmth an' the sunshine, I got my own.

You're my Jamaica, where I wanna be.
You're my island when I'm bein' tossed on a stormy sea.
My Heavenly haven, where I could spend eternity.
You're my Jamaica: you're paradise to me.

White sunny sand, palm trees an' tango sounds so invitin'.
Limbo dancin' an' starlight romancin, it's all so excitin'.
I got my flowery shirt an' rum punch in my hand.
Found exotic lover in my native land.

You're my Jamaica, where I wanna be.
You're my island when I'm bein' tossed on a stormy sea.
My Heavenly haven, where I could spend eternity.
You're my Jamaica: you're paradise to me.

You're my Jamaica, where I wanna be.
You're my island when I'm bein' tossed on a stormy sea.
My Heavenly haven, where I could spend eternity.
You're my Jamaica: you're paradise to me.

You're my Jamaica, where I wanna be.
You're my island when I'm bein' tossed on a stormy sea.
My Heavenly haven, where I could spend eternity.
You're my Jamaica: you're paradise to me.
