Lyrics
TROPICAL ISLAND
Written by: Howard Delnick
Verse:
I HAD IT CLEAR, UP TO MY EARS, I WAS DONE
SO I JUMPED ON A SHIP, AND TOOK ME A TRIP TO THE SUN
WE WERE WELL UNDER WAY, OUT A FEW DAYS, WHEN I FOUND
A TROPICAL ISLE, PEOPLE WITH SMILES AND WITH TANS
Chorus:
ON MY TROPICAL ISLAND, THERE'S NO USE DENYIN', IT'S FUN
DRINKIN' SOME BEER, AND LAZIN' UNDER THE SUN
BEIN' CARE FREE, IS THE ONLY WAY THAT IT'S DONE
WE DON'T MOVE VERY FAST, WE JUST TAKE EV'RY DAY AS IT COMES
Verse:
I SOON SETTLED IN, HAD ME A SWIM, IT WAS GRAND
EATIN' FISH FROM THE SEA, AND RUNNIN' ALONG IN THE SAND
IT DIDN'T TAKE VERY LONG, ALL MY TROUBLES WERE GONE, LUCKY MAN
SO I BUILT ME A SHACK, AND NEVER LOOKED BACK, HERE I AM
Chorus: (twice)
