Every year I get the same feel
Christmas come I wanna pack my backs and flee
Wanna get away from new york
Wanna find another place to be

So we're having a reggae Christmas - down in Jamaica
We're having a good time too
Hey man, we're having a reggae Christmas
A merry Christmas and a reggae new year to you

Christmas is nice in Germany
If you like being up to your knees in snow (oh no!)
It's just as cold up in Canada
We gotta find another place to go

We're having a reggae christmas - down in Jamaica
We're having a good time too.
Hey man, we're having a reggae Christmas
A merry Christmas and a reggae new year to you.

It's a long way down to Kingston town
But I'll get there someday I know
Gonna meet my friends down in Kingston town
And those good times gonna roll
Ya those good times gonna roll
