Reggae night

We come together when the feelin's right

Reggae night

And we'll be jammin 'till the morning light

Penny reel just called

Got to get my things

Got to catch this ride

Gotta look my best because I know there'll be mashin' up tonight

Reggae night

We come together when the feelin's right

You will find it happens only once a year

So don't miss out on this fashion here

There'll be people comin' from the north and south

And east and west

So you better look your best

Man

Now

Lightnin' strikes at 8

So you better not be late

For this rub-a-dubbin'

Rockin'

Jammin'

Fun

Fun

Love in

Yeah

Reggae night

We come together when the feelin's right

You will find it happens only once a year

So take advantage of this festive cheer

Make we bring we family and let's tell some friends

And everyone will have a jam
