[Verse 1]
I wonder if you're ready
I'd like to introduce you to some feelings from Jamaica
Talking 'bout the reggae
Ready or not
I wonder if you're ready
I'd like to bring you closer to vibrations from Jamaica
Talking 'bout the reggae
Ready or not
[Chorus]
You'll feel
Golden sunshine on your face
You'll smile
'Cause when the music is playing
And bodies are swaying
[Verse 2]
I wanna see you smiling
I'd like to give you cooking with the spices from Jamaica
Take you to the islands
Ready or not
I love you when you smile
You never have to travel just relax and we can take you
Take you to the islands
Ready or not
[Chorus]
You'll feel
As the gentle breezes blow
You'll smile
When the music is playing
And bodies are swaying
[Bridge]
Feel the beauty
Sing along
All the things we want to share with you
Are here in the sun
Talking 'bout spirit
Just you sit back
We can carry you off with the music to Jamaica
[Verse 3]
I wonder if you're ready
We got to get a move on 'cause we're going to Jamaica
Talking 'bout the reggae
Ready or not
You don't look like you're ready
I've got to give you feelings that will take you to Jamaica
Giving you the reggae
Ready or not
[Chorus]
And you'll feel
Golden sunshine on your face
Give me your smile
'Cause the brothers be playing
Your bodies be swaying
[Bridge]
Feel the beauty
Sing along
All the things that we want to share with you
Are here in the sun
Talking 'bout spirit
Just you sit back
Only one place that's so close to heaven is Jamaica
[Vese 4]
I wonder if you're ready
I'd like to get you feelin' like you're going to Jamaica
Take you with the reggae
Ready or not
[Outro]
Yeah, I'm talking 'bout the reggae
Ready or not
Talking 'bout the reggae
Ready or not
Yeah, I'm talking 'bout the reggae
Ready or not
