ISLAND GIRL
Elton John


I see your teeth flash
Jamaican honey so sweet
Down where Lexington cross forty seventh street
Oh
she's a big girl
she's standing six foot three
Turning tricks for the dudes in the big city.

Island girl what you wantin' wid de white man's world
Island girl black boy want you in his island world.
He want to take you from de racket boss

He want to save you but de cause is lost.
Island girl
island girl
island girl
Tell me what you wantin' wid de white man's world.

She's black as coal but she burn like a fire
And she wrap herself around you like a well worn tire.
You feel her nail scratch your back just like a rake

Oh
he one more gone
he one more john who make de mistake

Island girl what you wantin' wid de white man's world
