*INTRO BY DADDY U-ROY (RIP)*
Me and me brethren them sit down ‘pon the corner
Light up the fire and ah* boil green banana (Lord)
Later we haffi* go igloo outta Hellshire*
Woo ohoo..ohoooho.. Woo ohoo..ohoooho
Make a likkle* stop by my girlfriend Lorna
Long time me no see her and a long time me wanna
Blaze up the music inna the side ah the Bimmer here
Woo ohoo..ohoooho.. Woo ohoo..ohoooho
I feel like jamming to the reggae beat
Bubble up your body just ah move your feet
I feel like jamming to the sweet vibration
Woooh sweet Jamaica
If you love Jamaica let me see your hand, Woo ohoo
Raise it to the sky and let me see your hand, Woo ohoo
If you love Jamaica let me see your hand, Woo ohoo
Lord have mercy, sweet Jamaica

Sweet Jamaica
Woo ohoo..ohoooho.. Woo ohoo..ohoooho

Sweet Jamaica
All over the world them have the Jamrock* fever
One strong people with a powerful culture
Pop off we style and the faster runner
Woo ohoo..ohoooho.. Woo ohoo..ohoooho
Jamaican girls them sweet like sugar
Ackee and saltfish and coconut water
The blue mountains make you fly a likkle higher
Woo ohoo..ohoooho.. Woo ohoo..ohoooho
I feel like jamming to the reggae beat
Dance to the rhythm and move your feet
I feel like jamming to the sweet vibration
Woooh sweet Jamaica
If you love Jamaica let me see your hand, Woo ohoo
Raise it to the sky and let me see your hand, Woo ohoo
If you love Jamaica let me see your hand, Woo ohoo
