Christmas In The Islands
VERSE 1
Going to buy myself a Christmas present
I've been working all year long
And I need some time; just to call all mine
In a warm sunny place
I've got everyone a present
I'll leave them underneath the Christmas tree
Addressed to you, from me
To put a glow on your face
CHORUS
As for me, on Christmas Day
I'll be somewhere far away
So when you think of me, know that I'm smiling
Spending Christmas in the islands
VERSE 2
Going to buy myself a Christmas present
Get an airline ticket to
The land of the sun, for some holiday fun
The way the islanders do
Trade the eggnog for pina coladas
Pack away my coat and gloves
I'll just need a beach mat; a funny big straw hat
And throw away my shoes
CHORUS
As for me, on Christmas Day
I'll be somewhere far away
So when you think of me, know that I'm smiling
Spending Christmas in the islands

BRIDGE
Christmas Eve, I'll be counting the stars
On a moonlit bay
I'll be living on island time
So I'll just sleep in on Christmas Day
VERSE 3
Going to buy myself a Christmas present
To a tropical paradise
To spend a little time, just to relax and unwind
To the sound of the sea
I hope you like your Christmas present
You'd better open it now, you'll know just what to do
When you see there's tickets for two
Because you're coming with me
CHORUS
As for us, on Christmas Day
We'll be somewhere far away
So when they think of us
They'll know that we're smiling
Spending Christmas in the islands
TAG
So when they think of us
They'll know that we're smiling
Spending Christmas in the islands
