Lyrics

ON THE ISLANDS (The Jost Van Dyke Song)
(Words by Richard Shivers and Michael W. Avery/ Music by Michael W. Avery)

Take a boat, Don't take no bike, to the island of Jost Van Dyke
Listen to Foxy on the mic, Things are definitely all right

Cane Garden Bay for a fifth night, I'm a Caribbean Troglodyte
I'd have to say Jimmy was right, Things are definitely all right
Things are definitely all right

On the Islands, we stay
On the Islands, we play
May not know exactly which bay
Just living for the day

Couldn't find that Cheeseburger, so I had to take her cure,
Then I heard the villager, "Yah Mon", Singing "Yah Mon"

Down at Bomba's Shack, we can always get cut slack
And the moments are never Kodak. "Yah Mon", Singing "Yah Mon"

On the Islands, we stay
On the Islands, we play
May not know exactly which bay
Just living for the day

Hand me down my limbo stick, a rum painkiller might do the trick
Might make up a limerick about a lazy lunatic

Or a chick who made a flick, a little lace and arsenic
Or an island boy who is lovesick to a girl as thick as a brick

CHORUS

Cane Garden Bay for a sixth night as I spot a drifting Snow White
She's got her dwarf and the full moon light. Things are definitely all right
Things are definitely all right
