[G]Every day I read ads in the paper
Saying [D]come to the island,
Bikinied ladies sweet rum drinks
[G]They keep you smiling.
Down in the islands
[G7]I've got calypso music on the record at [C]home,
But when it [D]comes to the warmth and su[D7]nshine
I got my [G]own...

You're my Jamaica your where I want to be
your my [D]island when I am being tossed on a stormy[G] sea,
My he[G]avenly haven where I can spend eterni[C]ty
You're my [D]Jamaica ...Your paradise to[G] me.
White sunny sand palm trees and tans
It's Sounds so inviting...sounds So inviting,
Limbo dancing and star light romancing
It's All so exciting,
But I got my Flowery shirt and rum punch in my hand
And my own exotic lover in my native land.
You're my Jamaica your where I want to be
Your my island when I am being tossed on a stormy sea,
My heavenly haven where I can spend eternity
You're my Jamaica ...your paradise to me.
