Lord Creator - Independent Jamaica lyrics

Jamaica getting their independence And everyone is happy So I will now tell the story And please listen carefully Manley called up a referendum For you to make your own decision So the people voted wisely, now everyone is happy That there's no more federation Now, independence is good for the young and the old Also for me and you Yes, independence is great for the whole population Including Yorkshirean too So I believe that if we try our best It will be a great success So let us live in unity For progress and prosperity Let's go Independent Jamaica Manley went up to England To seek for independence And although Busta was late He still attend the big conference Although from two different parties It was very good to see How these two politicians were shaking hands When they gained victory Now, independence is good for the young and the old Also for me and you Yes, independence is great for the whole population Including Yorkshirean too So I believe that if we try our best It will be a great success So let us live in unity For progress and prosperity Swing it, daddy These two men came from England They came the very same day On two different planes That stopped at Montego Bay They separated back down to Kingston But still we are very pleased For they got independence, so let's rejoice They'll be the first in the West Indies Now, independence is good for the young and the old Also for me and you Yes, independence is great for the whole population Including Yorkshirean too So I believe that if we try our best It will be a great success So let us live in unity For progress and prosperity Swing it, daddy Independent Jamaica
