Island Hopping |
| Chop down the cherry trees on Mango Street |
| That’s the council for you every week |
| I’m just the kind of seafaring guy |
| Who waits for the tide and the town to get high |
| I don’t like to do a drop of work |
| Drive a cab nor paint the church |
| It’s been the same since I don’t know when |
| So I’m going island hopping again |
| Been the same since I don’t know when |
| But I’m going island hopping again |
| Gaspar the suspicious ghost |
| He floats the cargo down the coast |
| But that’s too risky for a man like me Whose face is known in the territory |
| I’m like a fly in Harry’s Bar |
| Don’t use my wings don’t walk too far |
| It’s been the same since I don’t know when |
| So I’m going island hopping again |
| Been the same since I don’t know when |
| But I’m going island hoppin again |
| Now Papa Hemingway he rent this boat |
| With U.S. bills I’m sure she’ll float |
| And I ain’t buying on the street |
| Gotta couple of merchants that I gotta meet |
| I’m waiting here for the firebell to ring |
| So I can watch somebody doing something |
| It’s been the same since I don’t know when |
| So I’m going island hopping again |
| Been the same since I don’t know when |
| But I’m going island hopping again. |
