Cooling in Jamaica

Ah, yeah

Whoa-yo, whoa-yo

Yeah

Cooling in Jamaica on the white, warm sands

Sippin' on the juice, and I get a suntan

If you're thinkin' I'm a tourist, I'm a West Indian

(Part of the nation)

Born of England and a true African

I'm gonna take it cool for a day, just feel the waves

Take time for myself to release and orchestrate

I've been workin' real hard, now I'm tired and worn

Ain't no buts or maybes, for this I've been waiting long

Now we're cooling in Jamaica on the white, warm sands

Sippin' on hot cocoa, and I get a suntan

If you're thinkin' I'm a tourist, I'm a West Indian

(Part of the nation)

Born of England and a true African

Life full of greatness, it's wasted if hasted

Yes, I might watch the clock, but still find time to rock

I've found my solution to the stress and pollution

I'll go have some fun under the blue skies and sun now

Now we're cooling in Jamaica on the white, warm sands

Sippin' on the juice, and I get a suntan

If you're thinkin' I'm a tourist, I'm a West Indian

(Part of the nation)

Born of England and a true African

I'm relaxed but not lazy, green trees keep me hazy

My vibe is so raised, I truly appreciate

Freedom of the mind is good, and your soul and body, too

So live up to the best and you'll have less regrets

Now we're cooling in Jamaica on the white, warm sands

Sippin' on hot cocoa, and I get a suntan

If you're thinkin' I'm a tourist, I'm a West Indian

(Part of the nation)

Born of England and a true African

You never know it's a mistake

You never know it's almost done

No post code in ah England

No post code in America

You never know it's a mistake

You never know it's almost done

Born in ah England

And come live in ah Jamaica

Now we're off to Jamaica, to the white, warm sands

Sippin' on a juice, and I get a suntan

If you're thinkin' I'm a tourist, I'm a West Indian

(Part of the nation)

Born of England and a true African

Lord, have mercy

Something to quench my thirst, ah, yeah

Ay
