Down in Jamaica
They got lots of pretty women
Steal your money
Then they break your heart
Lonesome Sue
She's in love with ol' Sam
Take him from the fire
Into the frying pan

On and on
She just keeps on trying
And she smiles when
She feels like crying
On and on
On and on
On and on

Poor ol' Jimmy
Sits alone in the moonlight
Saw his woman
Kiss another man
So he takes a ladder
Steals the stars from the sky
Puts on Sinatra and
Starts to cry

On and on
He just keeps on trying
And he smiles when
He feels like crying
On and on

On and on
On and on

When the first time
Is the last time
It can make you feel so bad
But if you know it, show it
Hold on tight
Don't let her say goodnight

Got the sun on my shoulders
And my toes in the sand
My woman's left me for
The some other man
Aw, but I don't care
I'll just dream and stay tan
Toss up my heart to
See where it lands

On and on
I just keep on trying
And I smile when
I feel like dying
On and on
On and on
On and on

On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
