Down Island Way

Hello my friend
I think it’s been
Such a long, long time
Let’s meet in the Keys
For a glass of ice tea
And some key lime pie
We can wear out our feet
Walking Duval Street
Looking for souvenirs
We’ll get something to munch
A cheeseburger for lunch
At Margaritaville
Meet me down island way
Key West breezes
Make the palm trees sway
We can shop 'til we drop
And there’s no need to stop
At the end of the day
Every night we’ll be living it up
Tropical drinks in a bottomless cup
Hey, what do you say
Meet me down island way
There’ll be no need for a clock
'Cause the bands on each block
Keep all the time we need
The ring of steel drums
And the guitars strum
To an island beat
I should not mention this but
We’ll put the lime in the coconut
And drink it all up
We will let our hair down
We will paint the town
Until the sun comes up
Meet me down island way
Key West breezes
Make the palm trees sway
We can shop 'til we drop
And there’s no need to stop
At the end of the day
Every night we’ll be living it up
Tropical drinks in a bottomless cup
Hey, what do you say
Meet me down island way
Instrumental
Mallory Square
We’ll watch the sunset there
And shop the sidewalk mall
Watch the acrobats
The trained dogs and cats
Don’t stop the carnival
It may seem quite mad
But it’s not that bad
If you keep in mind
At the end of the Keys
You check your sanity
And live on island time
Meet me down island way
Key West breezes
Make the palm trees sway
We can shop 'til we drop
And there’s no need to stop
At the end of the day
Every night we’ll be living it up
Tropical drinks in a bottomless cup
Hey, what do you say
Meet me down island way
