Lyrics

DANCE THE REGGAE

I’m sitting on a bar stool
Sipping on a coke and rum
Waiting for my lady
We’re planning on a night of fun
The band gathers onstage
The lights turn to fire
The rhythms are smooth
We’re itchin’ to groove
The people want to move
They want to dance, dance, dance…
All the people want to…

Dance the Reggae
Dance the Reggae, yeah
Dance the Reggae
Everybody wants to dance, dance, dance the Reggae, yeah

Our bodies start sweating
Rhythm pulsing through our feet
Calling to the ghost of Marley
Raging to that reggae beat
I’m singing like a Wailer, man
I’m flying like a Burning Spear
The melody’s strong
Ringing like a gong
The people want to move
They want to dance, dance, dance…
All the people want to…

Dance the Reggae
Dance the Reggae, yeah
Dance the Reggae
Everybody want to dance, dance, dance the Reggae, yeah

Feel your heart…Jamaica heart
Feel your heart…Jamaica heart
Feel your heart…Jamaica heart
Feel your heart and dance the Reggae

Everybody dance the reggae
From Kingston to Montego Bay
Find their groove in Ocho Rios
The soul lives down Trench Town way
Everybody kinky reggae
Reggae our redemption song
The melody’s strong
Ringing like a gong
The people want to move
They want to dance, dance, dance…

All the people want to
Dance the Reggae…
Dance the Reggae, yeah
Dance the Reggae
Everybody want to dance, dance, dance the Reggae, yeah

Feel your heart…Jamaica heart
Feel your heart…Jamaica heart
Feel your heart…Jamaica heart
Feel your heart and
Dance, dance, dance
Dance the Reggae, yeah…
