Jamaica mon he love a hollow woman,
Jamaica mon he love to dance and sing!
He love a twinkle in a solid sender,
A very good time in everything!

Jamaica mon he get a bath of spirit,
Or maybe rum or maybe with some wine.
Take his woman on exquisite bender,
Jamaica mon he have a very good time!

Take her to the promenade,
Dance, dance, dance.
She can't say a word about marriage,
For Jamaica mon, he never take a chance!

Jamaica mon he love a hollow woman,
Jamaica mon he love to dance and sing!
He love a twinkle in a solid sender,
A very good time in everything!

Jamaica mon he love to dance and sing!

A very good time in everything!

He get a bottle o' spirits or maybe wine.

Jamaica mon, he have a very good time!

Take her to the promenade,
Dance, dance, oh pop what a dance!
Can't say a word about marriage,
For Jamaica mon, he never take a chance!

Jamaica mon he love a hollow woman,
Jamaica mon he love to dance and sing!
He love a twinkle in a solid sender,
A very good time in everything!
