Artist/Band: Joe Strummer
Lyrics for Song: Island Hopping
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Joe Strummer



Chop down the cherry trees on Mango Street

That's the council for you every week

I'm just the kind of seafaring guy

Who waits for the tide and the town to get high

I don't like to do a drop of work

Drive in cab nor paint the church

It's been the same since I don't know when

So I'm going Island hopping again

Casper the suspicious ghost

He floats the cargo down the coast

But that's to risky for a man like me

Whose face is known in the territory

I'm like a fly in Harry's Bar

don't use my wings don't walk to far

It's been the same since I don't know when

So I'm going island hopping again

Been the same since I don't know when

But I'm going Island hopping again

Now papa Hemingway he rent this boat

With U.S bills I'm sure she'll float

And I ain't buying on the street

Gotta couple of merchants that I gotta meet

I'm waiting here for the firebell to ring

So I can watch somebody doing something

Its been the same since I don't know when

So I'm going Island hopping again

Been the same since I don't know when

But I'm going Island hopping again
