Lyrics
She got the music, she got the love
She got most everything you can think of
And in the evening when the sun goes down, I don't need nobody else around
chorus : She's a sweet thing, calypso style
Keep me feelgood most all the while
What she got I can't explain
I love my Mary Jane
She number one my calypso queen
She just the best thing that you ever seen
She number one in all my schemes, queen of all my dreams
chorus : She's a sweet thing, calypso style
Keep me feelgood most all the while
What she got I can't explain
I love my Mary Jane
And when my ship comes in , we reach the sand
My Mary Jane takes me by the hand
Set me down under coco tree, she set my soul singin' free
chorus : She's a sweet thing, calypso style
Keep me feelgood most all the while
What she got I can't explain
I love my Mary Jane
