This is a curious song, with a light feel, but a reggae feel too. I don't know who the lady is who exclaims the first line and then speaks incomprehensibly towards the end of the song. I haven't got all the words here by a long way, but enough for you to get some idea what it's about.
Hey! Captain Mog's Fling On The Record!
Take me to the Island Sea.
Take me to the Island Sea.
I don't know how you got the nerve to ask me not to bite
'Cause when I'm hungry I'll eat anything in sight
There's more than one way leading up to the place in my heart
Taste is only one but you're making a good start.
Take me to the Island Sea.
Take me to the Island Sea.
You got me thinking of the naked island girl
But the south sea bubble has already burst in my face
There's more than one way leading up to the place in my heart
And beauty's only one but you're making a good start.
Take me to the Island Sea.
Take me to the Island Sea.
Take me to the Island Sea.
Take me to the Island Sea.
And you don't have to say that you love me, no you don't.
And you don't have to say that you love me, no you don't.
When you spoke with your eye
I would have had a love that never would fade away.
I would have had a love that never would fade away.
Day after day after day after day.
And you don't have to say that you love me, no you don't.
And you don't have to say that you love me, no you don't.
I would have had a love that never would fade away.
There's more than one road to the place in my heart.
Take me to the Island Sea.
Take me to the Island Sea.
