Got to get back to de island
Can't wait to escape from this strange land
Got to see my baby again
Got to get back to de island
You see a couple of friends and me
We came up with a crazy scheme
We were gonna make a lot of money
But we ended up under lock and key
Got to get back to de island
Can't wait to escape from this strange land
Got to see my baby again
Got to get back to de island
We set sail in the mornin'
With the merchandise hidden below
In just two short days we'd be millionaires
At least that's the way it was supposed to go
Got to get back to de island
Can't wait to escape from this strange land
Got to see my baby again
Got to get back to de island
The trip was long and the sun was hot
And that sweet smoke filled the air
Spotted land and prepared to dock
And all of a sudden, the authorities were everywhere
Got to get back to de island
Can't wait to escape from this strange land
Got to see my baby again
Got to get back to de island
Searched the boat and took us ashore
Asked a million questions and then a few more
Well I guess we didn't have the right answers
So they threw us here behind this jail cell door
Got to get back to de island
Can't wait to escape from this strange land
Got to see my baby again
Got to get back to de island
Got to get back to de island
Got to get back to de island
