Listen to the sounds, the sounds from Jamaica
Dance to the choons from Jamaica
Move to the riddims from Jamaica
Learn from the songs from Jamaica
King Tubby and King Jammy
Dem a rub it inna dub stylee
Bob, Bob Marley
Him a teach about Selassie
Johnny Osbourne tells ‘bout the truth & rights
And Peter Tosh fight against apartheid
Tenor Saw, ring the alarm
Marlon Asher working on di ganja farm
-REPEAT CHORUS-
Barrington Levy him a teach the youth
Delroy Wilson is in a dancing mood
Burning Spear brings the brain food
And the Scientist dubs it in the tradition of the roots
Wayne Smith is under his sleng teng
And Bunny Wailer sees the rootsman skanking
Althea & Donna nah pop no style
And John Holt wants to linger for a while
-keys-
Horace Andy warns about skylarking
Augustus Pablo is the melodica king
Dennis Brown let the love in
Yellowman “Gimme the morning ride”
Joseph Hill him a smoke the international herb
The Mighty Diamonds need a roof
Cornell Campbell shall not remove
