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
As morning breaks the heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
Mingles my sweat with the earth below
CHORUS
I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the waterside
Casting nets at the surging tide
CHORUS
I pray the day will never come
When I can't awake to the sound of drum
Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs philosophical
CHORUS

I love you baby and I want you to be my girl
Well, come on baby let's go downtown
Run, jump, kid around
I love you baby and I want you to be my girl
Well, come on baby I love you so
I will never, never let you go
Come on baby will you treat me nice
Please don't put my love on ice.
I love you baby and I want you to be my girl
Come and take me by the hand
Tell me I'm your lover man
Well have fun, just we two
You for me, me for you, oh-oh
Well, come on baby I love you so
I will never, never let you go
Come on baby will you treat me nice
Please don't put my love on ice.
I love you baby and I want you to be my girl
Come and take me by the hand
Tell me I'm your lover man
You for me, me for you,
Well have fun, oh, oh, oh
I love you baby and I want you to be my girl
Well I love you baby, love you baby
Love you baby, I love you baby
And I love you baby and I want you to be my girl.
