Smile Jamaica

Feeling out, feeling down
This feeling wouldn't leave me alone
Then up came-a one that said (hey, Dread)
"Hey, Dread, fly, Natty Dread, and smile!"
You're in Jamaica: C'mon and smile!
(In Jamaica, y'all) Get it together, y'all!
(In Jamaica) Get it together, now!
In Jamaica, y'all
Soulful town, soulful people
Said, I see you're having fun
Dancin' to the reggae rhythm
Oh, island in the sun
Oh, smile!
(In Jamaica) C'mon and smile!
(In Jamaica, y'all) Get it together, right now!
(In Jamaica) Get it together, children!
(In Jamaica, y'all)
We're gonna help our people, help them right
Oh, Lord, help us tonight!
Cast away that evil spell
Throw some water in the well
And smile!
(In Jamaica) C'mon and smile!
(In Jamaica, y'all) Get things together, right now!
(In Jamaica) Get it together, right now!
(In Jamaica, y'all)
Riddim wise (wise)
Dub-a wise (wise)
And other wise (wise)
Can't criticize (-cize) our smile
(In Jamaica) You're gonna smile!
(In Jamaica, y'all) Get it together, right now!
(In Jamaica) Get things together, right yow!
(In Jamaica, y'all)
Help my people, help them right!
O Lord, help us tonight!
Cast away evil spell
Throw some water in the well
And smile!
(In Jamaica) You're gonna smile!
(In Jamaica, y'all) Get it together, children!
(In Jamaica) Get things together, right yow!
(In Jamaica, y'all)
Soulful town, soulful people
Said, I know, I know that you're having fun!
