CD:
They say it's France for chicks if you're hip
The signorinas in Rome are worth the trip
But for wahines that make you flip
Give me the islands ev'rytime
The Riviera cuties are nice
The girls in Iceland are not made of ice
But for romance don't have to think twice
Give me the islands ev'rytime
Oh those trades, those maids, those hula serenades
The ocean, the motion, that certain emotion
Shoo, get a plane, get a train,
And if you're blue and looking for a cure
I recommend an island amour
Go where DuBarry's an amateur
Give me the islands ev'rytime
Now go to London town and you'll find
The girls are veddy veddy sweet and refined
But for wahines that drive you out of your mind
Give me the islands, give me the islands, give me the islands ev'rytime
They say the Turkish girls are a treat
They pull the rug out from underneath your feet
But with Hawaii they can't compete
Give me the islands ev'rytime
And down in Egypt land so they say
They'd trade the Suez Canal any day
For just a kiss from Leilani-e
Give me the islands ev'rytime
Oh those eyes, those lips, those swayin' hula hips
That swishin', that wishin', for
They say kissin' I'm missin'
Shoo, get a plane, get a train
And if you want a change of scenery
I recommend most definitely
Go where a 'he's' a 'he' and a 'she's' a 'she'
Give me the islands ev'rytime
Now go to London town and you'll find
The girls are veddy veddy sweet and refined
But for wahines that drive you out of your mind
Give me the islands, give me the islands, give me the islands ev'rytime
