Every day I read ads in the paper
Saying come to the islands
Bikinied ladies sweet rum drinks, yeah
They'll keep you smilingBut I've got calypso music on the record at home
And when it comes to the warmth and sunshine
Well, I got my ownYou're my Jamaica
You're where I want to be
You're my island when I am being
Tossed on a stormy seaMy heavenly haven
Where I can spend eternity
You're my Jamaica
Your paradise to meWhite sunny sand palm trees and tans
It's sounds so inviting
(Sounds so inviting)
Limbo dancing and star light romancingIt's all so exciting
But I got my flowery shirt
And rum punch in my hand
And my own exotic lover in my native landYou're my Jamaica
You're where I want to be
You're my island when I am being
Tossed on a stormy seaMy heavenly haven
Where I can spend eternity
You're my Jamaica
You're paradise to me
