Everyday I read ads in the paper saying come to the island Bikinied ladies sweet rum drinks they'll keep you smiling I've got calypso music on the record at home When it comes to the warmth and the sunshine well I go
You're my Jamaica you're where I want to be You're my island when I'm being tossed on a stormy sea My heavenly haven where I could spend eternity You're my Jamaica you're paradise to me
While sunny sands palm trees and tans it sounds so inviting Limbo dancing and starlight romancing it's all so exciting I've got my flowery shirt and rum punch in my hand And my own exotic lover and my native land
You're my Jamaica you're where I want to be You're my island when I'm being tossed on a stormy sea My heavenly haven where I could spend eternity You're my Jamaica you're paradise to me
