Laid back, sittin' in the sunshine
Hot wind, drink a little rum wine
Straw hat, down upon my eyes,
Watchin' the world go by.
Music, it start my toes a tappin',
Drum beat, it set my hands a clappin',
Rum wine, it get my head a spinnin',
turnin' around and around.
Carribean current please take me,
I hear you callin' me home,
Got to get back to Jamaica,
I want to roam no more,
Carribean current please take me,
I hear you callin' me home,
Got to get back to Jamaica,
( Fill-in Run )
Gypsy, she say I got the fever,
I don't know whether to believe her,
But when the wind blow from the sea,
My soul start to fly away,
She give me charm that will protect me,
Necklace with stone from far across the sea,
But island magic much too strong,
It won't let me go this time.
( CHORUS )
