Feeling out, feeling down:
This feeling wouldn´t leave me alone.
Then up came-a one that said (hey, Dread):
;Hey, Dread, dry, Natty Dread, and smile!

You´re in Jamaica: C´mon and smile!
(In Jamaica, y´all) Get it together, y´all!
(In Jamaica) Get it together, now!
In Jamaica, y´all.

Soulful down, soulful people:
Said, I see you´re having fun,
Dancin´ to the reggae rhythm,
O island in the sun:
O smile!

(In Jamaica) C´mon and smile!
(In Jamaica, y´all) Get it together, right now!
(In Jamaica) Get it together, children!
(In Jamaica, y´all)

We´re gonna help our people, help them right;
O Lord, help us tonight!
Cast away that evil spell;
Throw some water in the well,
And smile!

(In Jamaica) C´mon and smile!
(In Jamaica, y´all) Get things together, right now!
(In Jamaica) Get it together, right now!
(In Jamaica, y´all)

Riddim wise (wise),
Dub-a wise (wise),
And other wise (wise)
Can´t criticize (wise) our smile.

(In Jamaica) You´re gonna smile!
(In Jamaica, y´all) Get it together, right now!
(In Jamaica) Get things together, right yow!
(In Jamaica, y´all)

Help the people, help them right!
O Lord, help us tonight!
Cast away evil spell;
Throw some water in the well,
And smile!

(In Jamaica) You´re gonna smile!
(In Jamaica, y´all) Get it together, children!
(In Jamaica) Get things together, right yow!
(In Jamaica, y´all)

Soulful down, soulful people,
Said, I know - I know that you´re having fun!
