[Verse 1]
It’s the song that’s heard throughout the land,
A song that’s sung without a band.
You can hear them start to sing once the sun goes down.
Listen to the melody, it’s all around.
[Chorus]
It’s the music of the islands,
You couldn’t stop it if you tried.
It’s not the kind you’re used to no,
Nature brings it in with the tide.
[Verse 2]
The days are short, the nights are long,
Rain drops fall on the palm fronds.
The boats go fishing, the tide comes in.
Grab your fishing pole and a bottle of gin.
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
The sun so bright, it warms the skin.
Lighthouse at night, the fog rolls in.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
The calm blowing winds make the green grass sway,
Tropical fish swim around in the bay.
Calypso sounds flowing from a steel pan
Come walk with me across the warm pink sand.
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
