Corrine
Hollies · Other Songs - Hollies
Once seen never forgotten it is your island of dreams
Grab my -- are flowing
Take a sip and you're on your way
Buy my fruits sweet black mama is calling
Mangos and guavas cut fresh today
chorus
See below another world calling
Choral castle built by the tide
Go below and swim through the forest
Watch the horses nobody rides
chorus
And on the island the island girls who don't pass by
And on the island the island girls are not too shy
Every night a good moon a-rising
magic lanterns lighting the way
to a party down by the water
Calypso music all 'round the bay
chorus x3
