Lyrics
Out On the Island
Out on the Island where the breezes are blowing
The sun is shining and the rivers are flowing
You can find me in a hammock
Singing songs underneath the trees
I like what I?m doing
I?m doing whatever I please
The city seems just like a dream to me now
I can?t imagine all that running around
The streets and the sidewalks
The subways and the circus crowds
I remember it well
I wouldn?t want to go back now
The waves are breaking they?re so gentle and soothing
They keep a rhythm to the sound of the music
I?m here with my lady
On a tropical beach
I?ve been mistaken before
I think I?ve found just what I need
I got no worries got no troubles to plague me
And when I?m lonely got my woman to save me
There?s fruits and bananas
Papayas and a coconut tree
I believe I?m in heaven
No place I?d really rather be
Out on the Island where the breezes are blowing
The sun is shining and the rivers are flowing
You can find me in a hammock
Singing songs underneath the trees
I like what I?m doing
I?m doing whatever I please (repeat last 2 lines X3)
