Lyrics
Vanuatu
It isn't Portuguese
Let's go out and
Mine some manganese
Oh, that Melanesian wood
And the tuna fishing's good
You can sip some kava in the shade
Here she comes, down the shore
The moon is full and bright
Off in the distance, volcanoes spewing flame
80 islands sing as one
She comes to you on the shore
On the shore tonight
Vanuatu
It isn't Portuguese
Used to be called
New Hebrides
Oh that copra smells so good
Just like coconut should
South Pacific east of Australia
On the Isle of Pentecost
They'll dive towards land tonight
High above, inside a bushwhack tower
Tie a vine around your legs, and you can feel the power
And then it comes, comes to you
You're only passing through
Vanuatu
It isn't Portuguese
Let's go out and
Mine some manganese
Oh, that Melanesian wood
And the tuna fishing's good
You can sip some kava in the shade
