We say deo, deo, deo
Roll that barrel out
We say deo, deo
Twist the tap and pass it around

He owns a graddel by banyan tree
And old Jamaica called the ocean breeze
His face is kind as it is creased
From tossin' nets off an old boat bow

But all Jamal is a mariners son
Will tell you where the ships would run
And if your down there askin' to pour ya one
And you'll hear that sailor shout

He'll say deo, deo, deo
Roll that barrel out
He'll say deo, deo
Twist the tap and pass it around

His mama told him when he was young
You work the fields 'til you grow up
While she tapped the barrels and the cantina
The soldier boys passing by

His big brown eyes and little feet
For years they were at the coco bean
But he'd have visions of pirates when he would fall asleep
And they sang him this lullaby

He'll say deo, deo, deo
Roll that barrel out
He'll say deo deo
Twist the tap and pass it around
Hey, hey

We met Jamal when we arrived
He told a story 'round a fire last night
You shoulda seen that beach come alive
When he sang his island song
Yeah and we all sang along

We'll say deo, deo, deo
Roll that barrel out
We'll say deo, deo
Twist the tap and pass it around
Twist the tap and pass it around
Twist the tap and pass it around
