[Verse]
Sign said cEold beer so I pulled iAn there
Pulled up a Echair to have just oAne
Now my Ehead hurts I got this sAunburn
Oh Dwhat on EEarth have I dAone
[Chorus]
How'd I Dwind up in JAamiaca
Washed uEp like some lost Acastaway
How did oDne round of beer leave to mC#me laying hF#ere
On this bB7ed of sand in MoEntigo BAay 
[Verse]
Hey don't I kEnow you ain't you the gAirl who
I was taElking to back at the bAar
Your dress was lEike a dream and I had on bAlue jeans
Tell what'Ds it mean when we Edon't know were they Aare
[Chorus]
How'd I wDind up in JaAmiaca
Was it yoEur wild hair or was it Amine
Oh I baDrely remember you cussC#min DeceF#mber 
As you paB7ssed me that sEalt and the liAme.. Ring a bell..

It's been a yEear now we're still heAre now
Awl setEtle down might not go back aAgain
Like a couple of beEach bums we hardly wAork much
And still aDsk each other evEery now and tAhen
[Verse]
How'd we wiDnd up in JaAmiaca
Was it yEour wild hair or was it mAine
Oh who caDres it don't matter we're hC#mappy ever afF#ter
Now pB7ass me that sEalt and the lAime
We got it mDade here in JaAmica 
I would't haEve it any other Away
To this dDay it ain't clear all I kC#mnow is we're hF#ere
On this bB7ed of sand in MoEntigo BAay.
