Lyrics
Jamaica Avenue

Ay
Oh mama mama you got me
Groovin' on a Saturday night
(Uoh uoh uoh)
Oh papa papa is not me over next door breaking a fight
Instead I was glued onto, Jamaica Avenue
Where the people celebrate the old and bring the new
Glued onto, Jamaica Avenue
Blazin' up the fire with the masses and the crew
(Oh)
(Hey hey)
Oh dance together
Who can do it better?
(Oh)
Come together
Regardless of the weather
They get in the mood and eat good food
And smoke with attitude
I just wish that you were there
To get a taste of the music
And see how the people use it
And [?] joy's everywhere
(Scat vocalisation)
