Breadfruits roasting on an open fire
Mongrels nipping at your toes
Dancehall songs, being sung by a choir
‘An we dress up in we bashment clothes

Everybody knows,
When gungo cook an sorrel flow
Yu dun know seh season brite
Gal an bwoy wid them starlight a glow
Dem nah go waan fe sleep tonite

Dem know seh joyride deh pon the way
With music, rockin’ rockin thru de day
‘An all the chicken dem a try fi spy
Fi see is which one a dem is gwine to fry

‘An so, we want to big up everyone
All kidz from one to 92
Althou money dun
Have ‘hole heap a fun
Irie Chrismus, Irie Chrismus … to you.
