CARIBBEAN ISLANDS

I walked the lava rocks on Gilligan's Island
Jumped in the water and snorkeled the pilings
I was on the Cay where they filmed Splash
I'd go back today if I had the cash

Caribbean Islands are calling to me
The soft white sand and the coconut trees
No other place got that color of sea
Caribbean Islands are calling to me

I stood on the spot where Darrel Hanna Stood
I said Jah Lah Jah Lah Ain't this good
I thought of Tom Hanks and had I been him
I'd have been happy
Cuz I can swim

Chorus

The island band got the Reggae beat
You can't sit still you've got to move your feet
You be kickin' up the sand in the sweet sunlight
Dancin' to the rhythm long into the night

Chorus
If you could would you leave today
I say yes I would I'd be on my way
Would you ever come home
I say "Not, not, not
I just keep on dancing to Hot Hot Hot

Though I've long lived in the great Northwest
There's a Caribbean heart beating in my chest
So I got the sun on the rainiest day
So I put it in a song I'm gonna send it your way

Chorus
