Intro
A Ha A Ha
Oh Yeah Ah Ha Ah Haaaaa Oh Yeah

Verse 1
Are you feeling lonely, would you like some company
I am the island doctor and curing you is my specialty
So take my hand and come with me, you're going to a party
So let me ask you pretty lady what's your name?
Ok then, Jane it is I'm-gonna-make you feel-no-pain
Island fever is everywhere so my prescription is a Hurricane

A Ha A Ha
Oh Yeah Ah Ha Ah Haaaaa Oh Yeah

Verse 2
I see everyone check-in here, they all pass by my Lanai
Smiling changes everything you know, I cannot tell a lie
We all become one family, on this island, when you arrive
Bartender if you please, pour everyone a drink
Make it something special, something fancy and pink
Pour it in a coconut shell with a cherry on top, I think

A Ha A Ha
Oh Yeah Ah Ha Ah Haaaaa Oh Yeah

Chorus
It's another Caribbean summer on the Island of St. John
Where you can kayak and hike, dive the coral reefs
Escape into paradise all year long
So slip into your bathing suit and join us, have some fun
And be sure to order a tropical drink
My favorite is the one with lots of Rum
Ohhh yeah, oh yeah, that's right

A Ha A Ha
Oh Yeah Ah Ha Ah Haaaaa Oh Yeah

Verse 3
So let me tell you a story sittin' here, at The Beach Bar
I once worked on Wall Street, and drove a very, very nice car
Now I just sail my little boat, and play on this guitar
The stresses of that job were messing with my head
I needed to disappear before I went crazy or I ended up dead
So I kicked on out of that rat race, to drop into this amazing place

Bridge
I just have to say to you
You look beautiful this day
You light a fire that burns inside of me (inside of me)
I don't believe, I've ever felt this way, until, I met you
Just kiss me now and let our worries melt away

Chorus
It's another Caribbean summer on the Island of St. John
Where you can kayak and hike, dive the coral reefs
Escape into paradise all year long
So slip into your bathing suit and join us, have some fun
And be sure to order a tropical drink
My favorite is the one with lots of Rum
Oh yeah, oh yeah

And be sure to order a tropical drink
My favorite is the one with lots of Rum
Oh yeah, oh yeah,
Hey, hey oh yeah
