In the beautiful gardens of the Myrtle Bank Hotel
Jamaica's Regiment band gives its Sunday concerts
In the 1960's, when I was a child back in Jamaica
The music that captivated Jamaicans and people all over the world
Was the music of ska
Good, better, best, ha-ha-ha
Come on, yeah
Fire me up
Are we ready?
I know the secret of your recipe
You try so hard to put me to the test
But you see one day, girl, I'm better than the rest
You got me from the first time I laid my eyes on you
And I know it's just a game you like to play
And the looks you give me are different every day
Don't you know I would jump through hoops of fire for you?
If you're trying to put me off
You got to do better than that
Come on, you got to do better than that
Come on, you got to do better than that
Come on, you got to do better than that
So tell my why you keep me hanging on?
You like me, girl, and I know I can't be wrong
Your eyes don't lie
So stop trying to show me otherwise
You've heard nice things so many times before
The words are cheap, girl, and I can give you more
Everybody knows there's a cuter man waiting outside for you
You try to put me off
You got to do better than that
I said, you got to do better than that
Come on, you got to do better than that
What I tell you now?
You got to do better than that
I'm standing here now
Well, I'm standing here now
♪
I'll earn, one day, the right to call you mine
But I'm standing here and waiting here is fine
I'll prove to you there's no mountain too high to climb
If you're trying to put me off
You got to do better than that
I said, you got to do better than that
Come on, you got to do better than that
I said, you got to do better than that
Come on, you got to do better than that
I said, you got to do better than that
Come on, I said you got to do better than that
Come on, you got to do better than that
