Lyrics:

I don't need no 9 to 5, cuz I'm livin on island time
I got nothin' to do but somehow I think I'll survive
All I need is a bottle of rum and I'll drink it till the bottle's done
And sway in the shade all day, just chill and hold the vibe

It feels good to be an islander, if only for one day,
Kick off my shoes, put on my shades, watch my troubles sail away
It feels good to be an islander and taste the salty breeze
Soak up the sun till the day is done, come away with me


The rest of the world can wait, sometimes you just gotta take a break
Cuz there's nothin like killin time with all of your friends
So go buy you a bag of sand, put a candle in an old soup can
Keep a smile on your face and a cold one in your hand

It feels good to be an islander, if only for one day,
Kick off your shoes, put on your shades, watch your troubles sail away
It feels good to be an islander and taste the salty breeze
Soak up the sun till the day is done, come away with me

Fill your cup and raise it up, the more you drink the less it weighs
Pick it up and drink it down, that's your workout for today

It feels good to be an islander, if only for one day,
Kick off your shoes, put on your shades, watch your troubles sail away
It feels good to be an islander and taste the salty breeze
Soak up the sun till the day is done, come away with me
Soak up the sun till the day is done, come away with me...
