Song Lyrics

Na na na na ni na na na na
Na na na na ni na na na na
No life in the city everywhere dead
But there on the island ain't no problems there
Only the bright sunshine, cool summer breeze
Caressing my body, make me feel at ease
No worries from pressure, no reason for greed
You grow everything you got, so there is no need
The mango tree loaded, come eat some with me
Just get out the city and you could live free

Come back to the island, sweet summer breezes
Away from the city and all that stress
Come back to the island, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Away from the city and all that mess
I stroll on the beaches I dance in the sun
I wave to the children and old folks I don't know
Alone in the city cause no one says hello
But here they all love me everywhere I go

Hurricane a blowing, people boarding up
Everyone is praying things won't be too rough
Out here on the island where Nature never stops
I learn to be ready with a heart that's full of love

Na na na na ni na na na na
Na na na na ni na na na na
Na na na na ni na na na na
Na na na na ni na na na na
One, two junkanoo
One two junkanoo
Beat the drum, beat the drum, hey
Blow the horn, blow the horn
Ring the cowbells, kalik, kalik, kalik
