LIVING ON THIS ISLAND
I’m living on this island – called Paradise.
I’m living on this island –
where I don’t think twice:
and I laze all day,
watch the flying-fish play;
while the monkeys chatter -
and nothing ever matters –
that’s why I’m living on this island -
called Paradise.
I’m living on this island –
where I don’t think twice.
Then in from the sea
there blows a soft breeze
that cools me down
and sways the palm tree leaves -
And a humming-bird hovers
as it takes a sip
of the sweetened nectar
from a pretty flower’s lip -
that’s why I’m living on this island -
called Paradise.
I’m living on this island –
where I don’t think twice.
Then, when the coconuts are ripe
you catch them as they fall,
and you drink the milk
so sweet and cool -
And young lovers kiss
in the setting sun;
everyone’s happy
having so much fun –
I’m living on this island – called Paradise.
I’m living on this island –
where I don’t think twice:
and I laze all day,
watch the flying-fish play;
while the monkeys chatter -
and nothing ever matters –
that’s why I’m living on this island -
called Paradise.
I’m living on this island –
where I don’t think twice.
Here, the girls are pretty
and the fish tastes great:
there’s guava and yams
and mangos on your plate -
Now, I’m dozing here
with a beer in my hand;
and there’s no end
of ice-cold cans Cokes, Coors, Rums, Buds, etc.
that’s why I’m living on this island -
called Paradise.
And the sandy beach is white;
sky and sea bright blue:
the music’s Calypso –
and I’m in love with you –
that’s why I’m living on this island -
called Paradise.
I’m living on this island – called Paradise.
I’m living on this island –
where I don’t think twice.
I’m living on this island – called Paradise.
I’m living on this island –
where I don’t think twice.
I’m living on this island – called Paradise.
I’m living on this island –
where I don’t think twice.
