Lyrics
Everyone’s feelin’ 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
See, nobody ever told you
That you would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
You would be jammin’ and jammin’ and jammin’ jam oh
Ha, ha, 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
See, nobody ever told you
That you would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
See, nobody ever told you that you
(We’re in the middle of the making’s of the master blaster jammin’)
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
I know nobody told you that you
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
But we’re jammin’, jammin’, jammin’, jam on
Ha, ha
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 that you
(We’re in the middle of the makings of the master blaster jammin’)
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
Bet you nobody ever told you that you
(We’re in the middle of the makings of the master blaster jammin’)
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh you
(We’re in the middle of the makings of the master blaster jammin’)
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
Don’t you stop the music, oh no, no, no, no
(We’re in the middle of the making’s of the master blaster jammin’)
Nah, nah, nah, nah, no
(We’re in the middle of the makings of the master blaster jammin’)
Don’t know lovin’, ain’t nobody told you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh you
(We’re in the middle of the makings of the master blaster jammin’)
Would be jammin’ until the break of dawn
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 making’s of the master blaster jammin’)
Jammin’ ’til the break of dawn
Oh, oh, you may as well believe what you are feelin’
Because you feel your body jammin’
