Cinnamon Bay

In the tropics I’ve seen
Hillsides of green
And the ocean water blue and clear
The mood is sublime
And the sun always shines
Each and every day of the year
But when the night time comes
It be time for some fun
Jamming with the reggae band
Where the moonlight’s enough
To make you fall in love
As you walk on the beach hand in hand
On a tropical night in paradise
Life is a holiday
On a tropical night in paradise
Down at Cinnamon Bay
One evening I could not sleep
So I rented a jeep
Took my girlfriend for a drive down south
With carrots and bread
The wild donkeys we feed
'Til one kissed my girlfriend
Right on the mouth
First I laughed then I cursed
'Cause what’s even worse
That donkey took my girl for a ride
She was having such fun
I could not be outdone
I went and asked that girl to be my wife
On a tropical night in paradise
Life is a holiday
On a tropical night in paradise
Down at Cinnamon Bay
Instrumental
So if you’re moody and blue
And don’t know what to do
When vacation times come around
You just jump on a plane
You’ll never be the same
When the wheels of that plane touch the ground
On the isle of St. John
It’s the smallest one
Of the U.S. Virgin Isles
And though small like a twig
The fun there is big
And your frown will be replaced by a smile
On a tropical night in paradise
Life is a holiday
On a tropical night in paradise
Down at Cinnamon Bay
