Island Girl

words: Allan Thomas
music: Allan Thomas & Bryan Kessler


A lei of tuberoses white ginger in your hair
and when you throw your arms around me
I've got it all right here

*oh island girl my sweet island girl
you take me to another world my island girl

she dances in the moonlight
as the surf kisses the shore
just me and you the wind in the bamboo
I don't need anything more.

*just my island girl my sweet island girl
you take me to another world
when I'm loving you
I love an island girl Hawaiian island girl
more precious than a sea of pearls
my island girl

and when I see you coming it throws me for a loop
I smile like a mongoose in a chicken coop
the magic of the islands reflecting in your eyes
just one look I'm hypnotized

stars light up the night sky we awaken to the sunrise
I count my blessings when I think of you
I believe dreams come true

*oh island girl my sweet island girl
you take me to another world
when I'm loving you
I love an island girl Hawaiian island girl
more precious than a sea of pearls
my island girl

and when I see you coming it throws me for a loop
I smile like a mongoose in a chicken coop
the magic of the islands reflecting in your eyes
just one look I'm in paradise.
