Lyrics
Reggae Jubilee
Can you hear it?
When the music starts
It captures and it holds, it holds
Can you hear it?
When the music starts
Just listen to the drum beat as it rolls
From Kingston to Oakland, they're rocking to the beat
Just see them dancing in the street
Moving their hips, moving their feet
Everyone's dancing, everyone you meet
Grooving in the spirit of love
Reggae, rock and rub-a-dub
Come on and dance this one with me
'Cause it's a reggae jubilee
Can you hear it? (I can hear it)
When the music starts (rhythm of our hearts)
It captures and it holds, it holds (the melody of our souls)
Can you hear it? (I can hear it)
When the music starts (watch it climb the charts)
Just listen to the drum beat as it rolls (the melody drives our souls)
The people, rich and poor, they're moving to the sound
They fill the streets in every town
Women in skirts, women in gowns
Everyone's smiling; none are wearing frowns
Jammin' with a style and attitude
Feel the music; love the mood
People as far as eyes can see
Cause it's a reggae jubilee
Can you hear it? (I can hear it)
When the music starts (rhythm of our hearts)
It captures and it holds, it holds (the melody of our souls)
Can you hear it? (I can hear it)
When the music starts (watch it climb the charts)
Just listen to the drum beat as it rolls (the melody drives our souls)
The people, young and old, they're groovin' to the rhythm
You've got to move or do something
Jammin' is fun, but not a sin
Everyone's jammin' man, where have you been
And come on now girl, get on your feet
Feel the rhythm; feel so sweet
Come on and dance this one with me
Cause it's a reggae jubilee
Can you hear it? (I can hear it)
When the music starts (rhythm of our hearts)
It captures and it holds, it holds (the melody of our souls)
Can you hear it? (I can hear it)
When the music starts (watch it climb the charts)
Just listen to the drum beat as it rolls (the melody drives our souls)
