Lyrics:

I just pulled out a picture
someone took of me and you
at a beach club on Long Island
where we stayed all summer through.
Now I’m sitting here in London City
you’re in the USA
and the beach club on Long Island
is just a package flight away

Long Island
spend my nights with you. (x2)
I can’t afford a
Transatlantic call
I’m lonely, still I can recall
Long Island
picture on the wall.

I’m sitting in my attic
but I’ve brightened up the view
with an Instamatic picture
someone took of me and you.
Bo Derek sure is sexy
but she’s taken second-place
she’s got a picture of Long Island
cellotaped across her face.

I had the money for a ticket
but they went and raised the fare
Long Island seems so far, babe
I’m here and you are there.

Long Island
spend my nights with you. (x2)
I can’t afford a
Transatlantic call
I’m lonely, still I can recall
Long Island
picture on the wall.

(chorus repeat)
