SHAGGY
Straight from jamdung to London,
Ragga muffin weh wi say (hey),
Style a style an a pattan a pattan,
Didi donia (yeah yeah yeah yeah),
Shaggy and Sting ina combination.
Wake up to sunshine ina di morning,
What a beautiful feeling,
Mi hear the birds dem singing,
Way up ina the tree lim.
Mi get a call from the English man, say him waan come hold a vibes,
Him waan run left the cold fi ketch some island life.
44 to 876, at the drop of a dime,
Link up anytime.
44 to 876, call the airline
Fly out anytime.
STING
I’m trying to free my mind, and live a life stress free,
But the politics of this country are getting to me.
I have a dream that I’m swimming in the Caribbean Sea,
And then my good friend Shaggy says,
SHAGGY
Come spend some time Family.
STING
I hear reggae music, that’s playing in the street,
With maximum bass at all frequencies.
It shakes me to my soul, with a positive vibration,
I start dreaming of Jamaica and the Caribbean nation.
44 to 876, 44 to 876…
AIDONIA
Yow

Big up di UK man dem bam bam bam bam,
Welcome to Jamrock sand.
Fly come a yard fi di island breeze,
Pretty girl walk pon di white sand beach,
Try please stay so a rice and pease,
876 put yuh mind at ease.
STING
I hear reggae music, it carries me away,
And the ghost of Bob Marley, haunts me to this day.
There’s a spiritual truth in the words of his song,
And the Caribbean nation to which they belong.
44 to 876, 44 to 876,
44 to 876, 44 to 876…
SHAGGY

To the shores a Kingston a so it go (rockers),
Didi donia (yeah Shaggy),
Yeah Sting (yeah hey)…
