Island Avenue - Irie Lyrics

Jamaican night bring the cool ocean breeze
Ladies of Negril wanting to please
The island beat always moving your feet
Sweet pineapple and hot patties to eat

Hey man for a dollar and a dime
I show you the island have a good time
Got de gaunga for the head and rooms for the night
Got everything to make you feel alright

Fishing boat and fruit stand dot the beach
Rum and Red Stripe never out of reach
Whittie go out in the sun to get brown
Brother and sister sell their wares in town

Hey man for a dollar and a dime
I show you the island have a good time
Got de gaunga for the head and rooms for the night
Got everything to make you feel alright

Down to the café for jamaican cuisine
Chicken and rice and a sunset scene
Tia Maria and conversation go 'round
Then we're off adventure bound

Hey man for a dollar and a dime
I show you the island have a good time
Got de gaunga for the head and rooms for the night
Got everything to make you feel alright

Sailing ship lies anchored in the cove
Beautiful mistress with stories untold
Her love affair with the ageless sea
Brings back precious memories

Hey man for a dollar and a dime
I show you the island have a good time
Got de gaunga for the head and rooms for the night
Got everything to make you feel alright

Got everything to make you feel alright
