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
