Fay Lovsky - the islands lyrics

rate me

<b>the islands</b> by <i>Fay Lovsky</i><br />Picture me under a Tum Tum tree,

sunshine shimmers on the ground

The buzzing of a busy bumblebee,

rustling leaves are all around

All I have to do is drive inland,

he said I would like it

Up the mountains to the fields,

do a little business with the monkeymen

he said I should try it, merchandise under the seats

Simon said, come see the island, ooh.

The islands!

Mañana

Si's in a hurry but I do not worry

There's plenty of fruit on the tree

Ooh.

The islands!

Americans are playing badminton

Under golden evening skies

Simon says he's gonna buy me diamonds

When all this is over we'll be high and dry and ahh…

People practice for the Sunday choir

Ngaoundre ngaoundre ngaoundre

Yellow moon is on the rise, me and Simon sitting at the bar

Watch the million fireflies

Simon's gonna run for president

Of the islands!

Of the islands!

Of the islands!

I'm gonna be first lady . the islands

Of the islands!

I'm gonna be first lady of the banana republic

I'm gonna be first lady of the banana republic (tsipa)

I'm gonna be first lady of the banana republic
