Montego Bay beckons

‘MONTEGO BAY BECONS’
  
HEY, HEY ~ WHA’ DA YA SAY
LET’S DO A TRIP TO MONTEGO BAY
TELL JIMMY JOHN WE’RE ON OUR WAY
WE’LL GET A FLIGHT AND HEAD OUT TODAY

HEY ‘MON ~ WE"RE HEADING TO JAMAICA
'N I’M SO GLAD I CAN TAKE YA
WE’LL FORGET ABOUT THE ICE & SNOW
WHEN WE GO WHERE TROPICAL WINDS BLOW
ALL I WILL SAY IS ~ "WHAT A TREAT!
WHEN  WE PLACE OUR FEET
UPON THE STREET OF JAMAICA ~ MY ‘MON."
SO COME ON ALONG

ONCE THERE WE’LL GO ON TO NEGRILL
WE’LL WATCH DARING DIVERS
FROM THE HIGH ROCKY HILL
WE’LL DRINK & DINE AT RICKS’ CAFE
AND LISTEN TO SOME FAB’ REGGAE
ONCE THERE ~ NARY A CARE

‘TIS A SCENE AS IN A DREAM
OUR MEMORABLE NEGRILL SUNSET
TO NEVER EVER FORGET
WHAT A THRILL  ` MY NEGRILL

Di’ La Chapelle
