lyrics

Hi there Sweetheart, hoping all is well with you,
I’m so sorry you’re not with me, on this Pacific island cruise
We play six till eight this evening, and then I think we’ve three nights off
ah but it’s great to be back working, on the Coral Island Queen

There are six exotic restaurants, a sauna and a spa
they have Pimms & lime on tap there, at the poolside cocktail bar
and I’ve tried every day for weeks now, but I still can’t find the gym
I’ll have another look tomorrow, on the Coral Island Queen

we bought pastries in Noumea, down on Anse Vata Beach
washed it down with icy French Rose
we had escargots and lobster on the Isle of Pines, don’t know if I
can stand another chocolate creme brûlée

Guess I’ll go ashore tomorrow, another Island paradise no doubt
take the sun screen and my swimmers, read a book and lie about
beneath a slowly swaying palm tree, how I miss my office desk
feels good to be back working….on the Coral Island Queen
