I  beg your pardon momma what  did you say
My  mind was drifting on a Martinque  day
 It's not that I'm not interested  you see
Augusta  Georgia is just no  place to be
 I think Jamaica in the moonlight
Sandy  beaches drinking rum  every night
We've  got no money momma but  we can go
We'll  split the difference and go to Coconut  grove
Just  keep on talking momma I  can hear
Your  voice it tickles down inside  of my ear
I  feel a tropical vacation  this year
Might  be the answer to this Hillbilly  beer
 I think Jamaica in the moonlight
Sandy  beaches drinking rum  every night
We've  got no money momma but  we can go
We'll  split the difference and go to Coconut  grove
Viola  an American  dream
We  can travel girl without  any means
When  it's as easy as closing  your eyes
And  dream Jamaica is a big  neon sign
Just  keep on talking momma I  like the sound
It  goes so good with that rain  poring down
I  feel a tropical vacation  this year
Might  be the answer to this Hillbilly  beer
 I think Jamaica in the moonlight
Sandy  beaches drinking rum  every night
We've  got no money momma but  we can go
We'll  split the difference and go to Coconut  grove
Viola  an American  dream
We  can travel girl without  any means
When  it's as easy as closing  your eyes
And  dream Jamaica is a big  neon sign
