Lyrics

On a coconut island I'd like to be a castaway with you On a coconut island There wouldn't be so very much to do I would linger a while And just gaze into your lovely eyes of blue Then I'd walk for a mile And come running back to be with you There the waves would make A pair of willing slaves of you and me forever And we'd laze for days and days and never Gaze out where the ships go sailing by On a coconut island I'd like to be a castaway with you On a coconut island Where we could make our dreams come true On a coconut island I'd like to be a castaway with you On a coconut island There wouldn't be so very much to do I would linger a while And just gaze into your lovely eyes of blue Then I'd walk for a mile And come running back to be with you There the waves would make A pair of willing slaves of you and me forever And we'd laze for days and days and never Gaze out where the ships go sailing by On a coconut island I'd like to be a castaway with you Just to bask in your smile And to realize my dream come true There the waves would make A pair of willing slaves of you and me forever And we'd laze for days and days and never Gaze out where the ships go sailing by On a coconut island I'd like to be a castaway with you Coconut island, baby We could make our dream come true, baby
