lyrics
ISLAND TIME
(June 19, 2021)
Hahahaha… Come on down and see us
Sandy beaches, blue sky and the endless surf
Nothin’ but nothin’ to do, man.
Island Time… Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!
Island Time… Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!
Island Time… Island Time… Living on Island Time
Trowin’ me watch away
Island Time… Island Time… We’re living on Island Time
Sunny, blue skies today… Island Time.
Island Time… Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!
Island Time… Island Time… Living on Island Time
It’s always cocktail hour
Island Time… Island Time… We’re living on Island Time
And I’ll have a Whiskey Sour… Island Time… Livin’ on Island Time.
Sometimes I wonder as I lie in the sun
Is there something I’m missing… Some things I should have done?
Then I realize that there is not even one (Not even one)
Livin’ on Island Time.
Slow it down… Take the time to feel the ocean
Look what you have found.
Tick tock… Slow the clock right down.
Island Time… Island Time… Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!
Island Time… Island Time… Living on Island Time
Livin’ my life away
Island Time… Island Time… We’re living on Island Time
I’m a beach boy today… Island Time… Livin’ on Island Time.
Hurricane season and we run from the rain
Pack up our beach stuff and we get on a plane
We wait ‘til it’s over and we do it again (Do it again, do it again)
Livin’ on Island Time.
Island Time… Island Time… Living on Island Time
Island Time… Island Time… We’re living on Island Time.
You wanna be here!
The Beach is your best friend, man.
And sunny times all the time.
Get yourself down here… Hahahahaha!
