Well me gotta go
Three nights and days I sail the sea
Me think of girls a-constantly
I'm on the ship me dream she there
Me smell the rose a-in her hair
I said Louie Louie
Oh baby now me gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Louie Louie
Oh baby now me gotta go
Word
I see Jamaica
(Duh duh)
Beautiful
(Duh duh)
It won't be long
(Duh duh)
Til I see my love
(Duh duh)
I'll take her in
(Duh duh)
My arms again
(Duh duh)
I'll tell her I
(Duh duh)
Will never leave again
