 In the middle of an island 

 In the middle of the ocean 

 You and I beneath the moonlight 

 With just the monkeys and the palm trees 

  

 In the middle of an island 

 When it's time to do some kissin' 

 Plenty time for lotsa lovin' 

 And walkin' barefoot in the sand 

  

 Though there's no island at all 

 Just a picture on my wall 

 My darlin', how I wish we could be 

 (I wish that we could be) 

  

 In the middle of an island 

 In the middle of the ocean 

 You and I forever, darlin' 

 In a paradise for two (in a paradise for two) 

 ' 

 Though there's no island at all 

 Just a picture on my wall 

 My darlin', how I wish we could be 

 (I wish that we could be) 

  

 In the middle of an island 

 In the middle of the ocean 

 You and I forever, darlin' 

 In a paradise for two 

 (In the middle of the ocean on an island kissin' you
