VERSE

I beg your pardon

mama, what did you say?

My mind was drifting off on

martinique bay.

It's not that

I'm not interested, you see

CHORUS

Augusta, georgia is just no place to be I think jamaican in the moonlight

The sandy beaches

drinking rum every night

We got no money, mama, but we can go

We'll split the difference, go to

VERSE

Coconut Grove Keep on talking,

mama, I can hear

Your voice

it tickles down inside of my ear I feel a tropical vacation this year

CHORUS

Might be the answer to this hillbilly fear. I think jamaican

in the moonlight

Sandy beaches,

drinking rum every night

We got no money, mama, but we can go

We'll split the difference, go to coconut grove

VERSE

Voila!

an American dream

Well, we can travel, girl, without any means

When it's as easy as closing your eyes

And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign

VERSE

We'll just keep talking,

mama, I like that sound

It goes so easy

with that rain falling down I think a tropical vacation this year

Might be the answer

to this hillbilly fear.

Voila!

an American dream

Yeah, we can travel

girl without any means

When it's as easy

as closing your eyes

And dream

Jamaica is a big neon sign.

CHORUS

Just think Jamaican

in the moonlight

sandy

beaches, drinking rum every night

We got no money,

mama, but we can go

Still the difference

for the coconut grows

I think Jamaica

in the moonlight.
