IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ISLAND
Tennessee Ernie Ford


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)
