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 the 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' an jammin' and
Jammin'
Jam on

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
(We're in the middle of the makin's
Of the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break
Of Dawn
I know nobody told you that you
(We're in the middle of the makin's
Of the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break
Of dawn
We're jammin'
Jammin'
Jam on

You ask me am I happy 
Well as a 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 that you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of
The master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break
Of dawn
I bet you nobody ever told you
That you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of
The master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break
Of dawn
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
You
(We're in the middle of the makin's of
The master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin'
Until the brak of dawn
Don't you stop the music
Oh no

(We're in the middle of the makin's of
The master blaster jammin')
(Repeat background)

Oh
Oh
Oh
You
(We're in the middle of the makin's of
The master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break
Of dawn
I bet you if someone approached 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')
Jammin' til the break of dawn
Oh
Oh
Oh
You may as well believe what
You are feeling because you feel your
Body jammin'
Oh
Oh
You would be jammin' until the
Break of dawn
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the
Master blaster jammin')
