^DI ^Gbeg your pardon, mama, what did you say? ^AMy^D mind was drifting off on Martinique Bay. ^DIt^G's not that I'm not interested, you see; ^AAu^Dgusta, Georgia is just no place to be.

^DI think Jamaican in the ^Gmoonlight. ^ASandy beaches, drinking ^Drum every night. ^DWe got no money, mama, ^Gbut we can go; ^AWe'll split the difference, go to ^DCoconut Grove.

^DKeep on talking, mama, ^GI can't hear. ^AYour voice, it tickles down in ^Dside of my ear. ^DI feel a tropical vac ^Gation this year, ^AMight be the answer to this ^Dhillbilly fear.

^DI think Jamaican in the ^Gmoonlight. ^ASandy beaches, drinking ^Drum every night. ^DWe got no money, mama, ^Gbut we can go; ^AWe'll split the difference, go to ^DCoconut Grove.

^DVoila! An A m^Gerican Dream. ^AWell, we can travel girl, with ^Dout any means. ^DWhen it's as easy as ^Gclosing your eyes ^AAnd dream Jamaica is a ^Dbig neon sign.
