I spent last summer on an island
In the Mediterranean Sea
The sunshine was so bright
Yes you know it burned me down
To my soul I wish everybody
That I had to love was there with me
What a time, baby what a time
I had when I was there
Mmm, mm, oo, mm First I'm an African man
Second I'm black Jamaican
Third I'm black American First I'm an African man
Second I'm black Jamaican
Third I'm black American First I'm an African man
Second I'm black Jamaican
Third I'm black American Shake it shake it shake it shake it
Shake it shake it let your body swim
Shake it shake it shake it shake it
Shake it shake it baby take a pull of rum again If you have not had enough of it in your life
You just cannot have your fill
Mmm, ooo, mmm First I'm an African man
Second I'm black Jamaican
Third I'm black American
