1st VERSE: D Laid back, sittin' in the sunshine
G D Hot wind, drink a little rum wine
D Straw hat, down upon my eyes,
G A/G D Watchin' the world go by.

G D Drum beat, it set my hands a clappin',
D Rum wine, it get my head a spinnin',
G A/G D turnin' around and around.

D Gypsy, she say I got the fever,
G D I don't know whether to believe her,

G A/G D My soul start to fly away,
D She give me charm that will protect me,
G D Necklace with stone from far across the sea,
D But island magic much too strong,
G A/G D It won't let me go this time.
