[Verse 1]
We booked a seven day cruise on our summer vacation
Ended up lost in this island nation
Saturday morning, a walk in the sand
The rhythmic beat of this tropical band

[Chorus]
On the Island
We'll be wasting our time (Wasting our time)
On the Island
I'll be feeling just fine

[Verse 2]
We've got a little hip shack, and late with the rent
We bought a color TV with the money you sent
A cigarette burn on the living room table
No food, no pets, no premium cable

[Chorus]
On the Island
With a drink in my hand (Drink in my hand)
On the Island
And a bucket of sand

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
On the Island
I'll be thinking of you (Thinking of you)
On the Island
There's really nothing to do

On the Island
We'll be taking it slow (We'll be taking it slow)
'Cause on the Island
There's really no place to go
