When the summertime comes, and the honey bee hums. I’m gonna take me a vacation. In a beautiful location, and let Jamaican Food Service, take real good care of me.

I’m gonna hang there in my hammock — Come on now don’t gimme no static! I’ll be snoozin’ in the shade, while that good food is bein’ made, because Jamaican Food Service, takes such good care of me!

Is it a bird? No, it’s a plane! Heck no! It’s Superman again! From over there across the river, Jamaican Service will deliver. It’s my genuine, sweet Baby, comin’ to my hammock tree!

Break: It’s my Baby and I’m crazy. For his lovins you can see. It’s my baby, when I’m lazy. He takes real good care of me! He takes real good! He takes real good! Real good care of me! ..... Take care of me Baby!!!!!

Well, he sets up on the sand. Where the dragonflies land. Lights up the fire and makes some food. Oh yeah, now he cooks pretty good! It’s my Jamaican Food Service Hangin’ in right here with me!
