Dreaming Jamaica

It's been one of those days I need a holiday Calgon take me away To some tropical place With palm trees swaying To some reggae playing I'm dreaming Jamaica Thinking I'll make A fast getaway Jamaica's the place Where they don't know my face And no one knows my name An island paradise All the people so nice Just like sugar and spice There's a guy on a Harley He looks like Bob Marley Hey, so does that other guy In Montego Bay We'll be slipping away To a hideaway You won't believe There's bar in a tree A perfect getaway It's been one of those days I need a holiday Calgon take me away To some tropical place With palm trees swaying To some reggae playing I'm dreaming Jamaica Thinking I'll make a Fast getaway Jamaica's the place Where they don't know my face And no one knows my name About a world away I'm here hauling freight Up Dakota way There's no island stream Just a blizzard scene Across the interstate It's minus eight And it's getting late Paradise must wait There's a Super Eight They say their Continental Breakfast is great It's been one of those days I need a holiday Calgon take me away To some tropical place With palm trees swaying To some reggae playing I'm dreaming Jamaica Thinking I'll make a Fast getaway Jamaica's the place Where they don't know my face And no one knows my name Copyright 2012.
