CShe was born in FDakota
Where she froze to death each Cwinter
But she dreamed about the G7islands
By the fire burning Csplinters
It was almost FJamaica
Almost paraCdise
It was almost G7Jamaica
It was almost real Cnice
So she moved out on the Fborder
With the sunshine but no sea Cbreeze
Though she could not drink the G7water
Some of the streets were lined with Cpalm trees
It was almost FJamaica
Almost paraCdise
It was almost G7Jamaica
It was almost real Cnice
Electric fan on the Ftable
Shower is her waterCfall
She may never have G7Jamaica
But in her mind she has it Call
It was almost FJamaica
Almost paraCdise
It was almost G7Jamaica
It was almost real Cnice
She loved the hurricane Fwarnings
And the tropical Cbreeze
She loves coconuts and G7love songs
With a little reggae Cplease
It was almost FJamaica
Almost paraCdise
It was almost G7Jamaica
It was almost real Cnice
It was almost FJamaica
Almost paraCdise
It was almost G7Jamaica
It was almost real Cnice
It was almost FJamaica
Almost paraCdise
It was almost G7Jamaica
It was almost real Cnice

C F

She was born in Dakota

Where she froze to death each winter

But she dreamed about the islands

By the fire burning splinters

It was almost Jamaica

Almost paradise

It was almost Jamaica

It was almost real nice

So she moved out on the border

With the sunshine but no sea breeze

Though she could not drink the water

Some of the streets were lined with palm trees

It was almost Jamaica

Almost paradise

It was almost Jamaica

It was almost real nice

Electric fan on the table

Shower is her waterfall

She may never have Jamaica

But in her mind she has it all

It was almost Jamaica

Almost paradise

It was almost Jamaica

It was almost real nice

She loved the hurricane warnings

And the tropical breeze

She loves coconuts and love songs

With a little reggae please

It was almost Jamaica

Almost paradise

It was almost Jamaica

It was almost real nice

It was almost Jamaica

Almost paradise

It was almost Jamaica

It was almost real nice

It was almost Jamaica

Almost paradise

It was almost Jamaica

It was almost real nice
