When life has no fascination
The world is wrong so it seems
Just use your imagination
And fly to an isle of dreams

Make-Believe Island is waiting just for you
Beautiful island beyond the blue
Make-Believe Island is waiting round the bend
Magical island of let's pretend

In fair tropical splendour
Love will find you and then
Two lips fondly surrender
Whispering "Kiss me again"

Wonderful island where broken dreams come true
Make-Believe Island beyond the blue

(Orchestral Interlude)

In fair tropical splendour
Love will find you and then
Two lips fondly surrender
Whispering "kiss me again"

Wonderful island where broken dreams come true
Make-Believe Island beyond the blue
