Lord Creator - Independent Jamaica Calypso lyrics

rate me

Jamaica getting their independence

And everyone is happy

So I will now tell the story

And please listen carefully

Manley called up a referendum

For you to make your own decision

So the people voted wisely, now everyone is happy

That there's no more federation

Now, independence is good for the young and the old

Also for me and you

Yes, independence is great for the whole population

Including Yorkshirean too

So I believe that if we try our best

It will be a great success

So let us live in unity

For progress and prosperity

Let's go

Independent Jamaica

Manley went up to England

To seek for independence

And although Busta was late

He still attend the big conference

Although from two different parties

It was very good to see

How these two politicians were shaking hands

When they gained victory

Now, independence is good for the young and the old

Also for me and you

Yes, independence is great for the whole population

Including Yorkshirean too

So I believe that if we try our best

It will be a great success

So let us live in unity

For progress and prosperity

Swing it, daddy

These two men came from England

They came the very same day

On two different planes

That stopped at Montego Bay

They separated back down to Kingston

But still we are very pleased

For they got independence, so let's rejoice

They'll be the first in the West Indies

Now, independence is good for the young and the old

Also for me and you

Yes, independence is great for the whole population

Including Yorkshirean too

So I believe that if we try our best

It will be a great success

So let us live in unity

For progress and prosperity

Swing it, daddy

Independent Jamaica<br />
