lyrics

Welcome To Bahamas
Written And Arranged By Sharmond Smith

Chorus:
Hey bey welcome to Bahamas.
I say hey bey welcome to bahamas.

Verse:
Come on and take a trip with me down to the Bahamas. To a place call paradise, out in the islands.
The heritage of people, you have to see yeah.
We gat sun sand and sea, and lots and lots of fun.

Chorus:
So come on hey bey welcome to Bahamas. I say hey bey welcome to Bahamas.

Verse 2
So I was walking down Bay Street looking for some fun.
I saw a little Tiki Bar they were caring on.
Out on the beach I saw a Rake n Scrape band.
They were mashing the roach and calling it Da Bahamian Ting.
Chorus:
I say hey bey welcome to Bahamas. I say hey bey welcome to bahamas.

Verse 3
People were dancing in the street to the Junkanoo beat. They shouted Vally, Saxons, The Roots and One Family.

Chorus
So lets go dancing.
To the music.
Hold your hands high.
and Rake n Scrape all-night. and Rake n Scrape all-night, we dancing we dancing .
