Had enough of working,
I need a rest, I need a piece of paradise.
Been inside for so long,
Ain't seen the sun and my skin's turning grey to white.
Heard a man on the street talking,
He and his old lady having warm caribbean nights.
So, I go to jamaica and all they tell me is ...

[Chorus]

Oh, sweet jamaica,
Sleepy little island in the middle of the deep blue sea.
They got herb the best in the world,
A place every red-blooded hippie should be, yeah.
So, I go pack my bag make a plane,
'cause the man's talking warm caribbean nights.
Here I go to jamaica ... to jamaica ... and all the natives go ...

Da, da-doo.
Da, doo.
Da, da-doo.
Doo.
Da, da-doo.
Da, doo.
Da, da-doo.

[Chorus]

Had enough jamaica,
I need a rest, I need a piece of paradise.
No more rasta red,
Will a knife 'bout to cut my throat, yeah, and all that jive, no.
So, I go pack my bag,
Make a plane for the states before it's too late. ah, bye-bye.
To jamaica ...

[Chorus]
