Lyrics
Calypso/Soca melodic rhythm
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.
