"Jamaica (Let Me Go Home)" lyrics

All day, I sit under the coconut tree
I'm just singin' mi funky song, singin' mi funky song, singin' mi funky song
Jamaica, what are you doing to me?
Why don't you let me go home? Let me go home? Let me go home? (Let me go home)

Vacation is done, but I can't go home
The water and sun, the girls and the rum
The sweet sugarcane (Sweet sugarcane)
Go 'round in my brain (Let me go)
I look in the sky, passing me by
Flight 21, son of a gun
I missed it again
When will it end?

Jamaica (Jamaica)
Heartbreaker (Heartbreaker)
Got to get on down
Come on, got to get on the song, got to sing
Why don't you let me go home, honey?
Let me go home, let me go home, let me go home

And back in the States, a letter relates
The boss is mad, talks about me bad
I'm fired, I hear (Fired, I hear)
But I don't care
There's fruit on the trees, fish in the sea
I live off the land, sleep in the sand
Happy and free
Jamaica and me

Jamaica (Jamaica)
Heartbreaker (Heartbreaker)
Got to sing mi song, got to sing, got to sing
Why don't you let me go home?
Where the air is fresh and clean, fresh and clean, fresh and clean
You don't have to worry 'bout pollution
No, you don't have to worry 'bout smog, oh
Got to get down, got to get down
And have a good time
Come on, sing
Got to sing, got to sing, I wanna go home

Jamaica
Heartbreaker
Everybody sing
Come on, got to get on down, singin' mi song, singin' mi funky song
Come on and sing, I wanna go home
Wanna go home, wanna go home, wanna go home, honey
Come on
Got to get on down
Don't have to worry 'bout pollution, honey
Come on home, sit under Mother Nature
Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica
Got to sing mi song, got to sing, got to sing, got to sing
Why don't you let me go home? Come on
Everybody
Got to get on down
Got to sing, got to sing, got to sing
Jamaica
Heartbreaker
Got to sing, got to sing
