[Intro] [Verse 1] Why dis hurricane so menacing? Like a hyena crouch low in di green, Circle mi yard like she got bad feelin’, Waitin’ fi di right time fi come unseen! [Chorus] Melissa! (Melissa!) Melissa! (Melissa!) Melissa, you wicked storm, go ‘way! Melissa! (Melissa!) Melissa! (Melissa!) Tek yuh time an’ go, don’t mash up Jamaica today!

(Melissa!) Melissa! (Melissa!) Melissa, you wicked storm, go ‘way! Melissa! (Melissa!) Melissa! (Melissa!) Tek yuh time an’ go, don’t mash up Jamaica today! [Verse 3] Mi wake up — peace, no thunder sound, No roof a rattle, no rain come down, Mi tink she gone, turn back pon sea, But mi sister shout, “No man, she nuh reach yet, see?” [Chorus] Melissa! (Melissa!) Melissa! (Melissa!) Melissa, you wicked storm, go ‘way! Melissa! (Melissa!) Melissa! (Melissa!) Tek yuh time an’ go, don’t mash up Jamaica today!
