There is a party in Jamaica, and nobody want it to stop
A party in Jamaica and they want it to go on and on
And if they ever stop it, then the children they get rowdy
The policeman be comin' and kickin' everyone

And then you wake up in the morning with the taste of blood in your mouth
You walk around in your cell and you don't know where you are
The policeman be telling you, you're gonna go to prison
And that's what's gonna happen if you let the party stop, so

Let the party go on and on

Another day, another night, another dance, another fight
They're gonna ruin all the party with all their violence and their spite
So let us tell you children that you gotta listen to the reason
The fun is all but over if you let the party stop, so

Let the party go on and on

So pick it up and put it down, or put it in your pocket
Don't you ever let it go because the beat belongs to you
Let the party fill you up just like the power of a rocket
And tell you one more time that this is what you gotta do, so

Let the party go on and on

There is a party in Jamaica, and nobody want it to stop
A party in Jamaica and they want it to go on and on
And if they ever stop it, then the children they get rowdy
The policeman be comin' and kickin' everyone
