Everyone's feeling pretty 
It's hotter than July 
Though the world's full of problems
They couldn't touch us even if they tried 
From the park I hear rhythms
Marley's hot on the box
Tonight there will be a party 
On the corner at the end of the block

Didn't know you would be jammin' until the break of dawn
I bet you nobody ever told you 
That you would be jammin' until the break of dawn
You would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin' jam oh

They want us to join their fighting 
But our answer today 
Is to let all our worries 
Like the breeze through our fingers slip away 
Peace has come to Zimbabwe
Third World's right on the one
Now's the time for celebration 
'Cause we've only just begun

Didn't know you would be jammin' until the break of dawn
Bet you nobody ever told you 
That you would be jammin' until the break of dawn
Bet you nobody ever told you that you
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
I know nobody told you that you 

Would be jammin' until the break of dawn (we're in the middle of the makin's)
(Of the master blaster jammin')
But gonna jammin', jammin', jammin'

You ask me am I happy 
Well as matter of fact
I can say that I'm ecstatic 
'Cause we all just made a pact
We've agreed to get together
Joined as children in Jah
When you're moving in the positive
Your destination is the brightest star

You didn't know you 
(We're in the middle of the makin's) 
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn (of the master blaster jammin')
Bet you nobody ever told you that you (We're in the middle of the makin's) 
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
Oh, you would be jammin' until the break of dawn
Don't you stop the music, no no
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
I bet you if someone approaches you 
Yesterday to tell you that you would be jammin' you would not believe it
Because you never thought that you would be jammin' oh, oh, oh, oh
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
Oh, oh, oh, you may as well believe what you are feeling
Because you feel your body jammin'
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin')
