Lyrics
Jamaica, Jamaica
land of musical wonders
Jamaica, Jamaica
land with many wonders
It’s not so good
It’s not so bad
It’s just right
It’s not so good
It’s not so bad
It’s just right
Jamaica, Jamaica
land of musical wonders
Jamaica, Jamaica
land of many wonders
We don’t whine
We grow our minds
on Jamaican time
We don’t whine
We grow our minds
on Jamaican time
Jamaica, Jamaica
land of musical wonders
Jamaica, Jamaica
land of many wonders
Boats on the sea
Our beaches gleam
with water of beauty
Caribbean Sea
Our mountains green
Our homes are serene
Jamaica, Jamaica
land of musical wonders
Jamaica, Jamaica
land of many wonders
(instrumental)
Jamaica, Jamaica
land of musical wonders
Jamaica, Jamaica
land of many wonders
We got what we want
We go with what we got
Yes, we are free
