The cannibal king with the big nose ring
Fell in love with the dusty ma-a-aid
And every night by the pale moon light
Across the lake he wa-a-aid
He hugged and he kissed his pretty little miss

By the light (Not the dark but the light),
Of the silvery moon (Not the sun but the moon),
I want to spoon (Not the fork but the spoon),
To my honey I croon love tune. (together)
Honey moon (Oh honey moon!),
Keep it shining in June (Not in May but in June),
Your silvery beams will bring love dreams
We will be cuddling soon…by the silvery moon….(not the sun but the moon)
We were sailing along…(We were sailing along)
On the moonlight bay…(on the moonlight bay)
We can hear the voices singing….(singing)
They seem to say……. (What did they say?)
You have stolen my heart…. (I’ve stolen your heart)
Now don’t go away….(I won’t go away)
(together) As we sing the old sweet songs
On moolight bay (On moonlight bay)
Pearly shells (pearly shells)....... by the ocean (by the ocean)...... shining in the sun (shining in the sun)...... covering the shore (covering the shore).... when I see them… my heart tells me that I love you.... more than all those little pearly shells... As every grain of sand upon the beach, another kiss for you… As night got more left over falling stars that tingle in the blue…

Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
Did you lady friend leave the nest again?
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad.
You can fly away, in the sky away.
Your more lucky than me.
I also had a pretty girl, she's not with me today.
They're all the same those pretty girls.
Take tenderness, then they fly away.
This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will always be home to me
CHORUS
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
Down the bay where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Oh, the grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men,
He marched them up to the top of
The hill and he marched
Them down again.
And when they were up they were up.
And when they were down they were down.
And when they were only half way up,
They were neither up nor down.

And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright;
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

Draw nearer, draw nearer,
In the gloaming, in the gloaming,

And I can play for you.
