"Yo... de sun tun up... an' de island callin'..."

Verse 1

Mi step outta di yard, 'bout quarter to ten

Sun blaze high like it wah fi disiplin

Sky so blue, not even one cloud a pry

Grab mi towel, grab mi shades, time fi ride

De gyal dem a walk pon de sand so slow

Coconut water freeze, man, everyting a glow

Feeling irie, feeling hot

Sunshine hot, sunshine

De weather sweet, de weather nice

Feeling irie, feeling hot

From morning light 'til de stars come out tonight

Verse 2

Mi seh di sun hot — scorching! Mi gyal dem a flossing!

Beach body tun up, every man a watch di timing

Rum punch inna di cooler, reggae inna di speaker

Dancehall mash up de place, mi seh de vibes couldn't be sweeter

Hot steppa inna di sand, mi nuh need no shoes

Breeze catch di coconut tree, mi seh mi couldn't lose

Temperature rise but mi still feel so cool

'Cause when de island call, yuh know seh mi play by de rules!

Chorus

Sunshine hot, sunshine

De weather sweet, de weather nice

Feeling irie, feeling hot

Mi heart so light, mi spirit take flight

De tide a come in, but yuh love a surround me

Inna dis heat, only yuh can cool mi mind

One day like dis... mek it rewind...

Verse 3

Mi seh de sun nuh shine fi di rich alone

It kiss de poor man skin, it warm de old man bone

De beach nuh have no gate, de sea nuh have no key

Dis yah sunshine day mek everybody free

So raise yuh hand to de sky, let de vitamin D in

Forget 'bout de trouble, let de good times begin

Whether Kingston town or de coast of Barbados

De sun a di same sun — wi all unda one load
