this station rules the nation
come on
come on
here we go
let's go back to the island, boy
wake up early one morning, kiss my momma goodbye
i'm goin' back to the island i said don't worry momma, don't cry
everybody come on
i'll be leavin' on that island stable
i sure hope that she's still able
sew(?) the ____ around five o-clock
i will stand at the bow and see the dock
out in the field from dawn 'till dusk
swimmin' in the blue hole is a must
that island where i was born
first thing i will do is grow some corn
wake up early one morning, kiss my momma goodbye
i'm goin' back to the island i said don't worry momma, don't cry
when cooking outside the island park
i was young when i learned i haven't forgot
