Lyrics

On the Island

[Verse 1]

We booked a seven day cruise on our summer vacation

Ended up lost in this island nation

Saturday morning, a walk in the sand

The rhythmic beat of this tropical band

[Chorus]

On the Island

We'll be wasting our time (Wasting our time)

On the Island

I'll be feeling just fine

[Verse 2]

We've got a little hip shack, and late with the rent

We bought a color TV with the money you sent

A cigarette burn on the living room table

No food, no pets, no premium cable

[Chorus]

On the Island

With a drink in my hand (Drink in my hand)

On the Island

And a bucket of sand

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

On the Island

I'll be thinking of you (Thinking of you)

On the Island

There's really nothing to do

On the Island

We'll be taking it slow (We'll be taking it slow)

'Cause on the Island

There's really no place to go
