This station...rules the nation!
Yeah, yeah, yeah go back to the island boy
(Chorus:)
Wake up early one morning
Kiss my mama goodbye
Goin' back to the island
Said don't worry mama don't cry
we're livin' on the island stable
I sure hope that she is still able
To go to the sea around 5 o'clock
I stand on the bow and see the dock
Out in the fields from dawn 'til dusk
Swimmin' in the blue whole is a must
That island where I was born
First thing I will do is grown some corn
(Repeat chorus)
We're cooking outside the iron pot
I was young when I learned I haven't forgot
I don't know where they walkin'
Old folks smoking pipe and talking
Saturday night we're gonna dance and sway
Shake my belly, do the ding
People don't you understand
Live like a king and be happy man
(Repeat chorus)
Go back to the island boy
Are you ready?
How you gonna get there?
Banana boat
Are you ready?
How you gonna get there?
go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go
We got to go to Nassau
Go to new Usa
Go to Cat Island, Long Key and Cuba
Go down to Freeport
Go to New Guinea
Go to Long Island
And then Ratingua
(Repeat chorus)
I got to go, I got to go, I got to go back to the island
I got to go, I got to go, I got to go back to the island
I got to go, I got to go, I got to go back to the island
I got to go, I got to go, I got to go back to the island
(Repeat chorus)
