Well, it don't matter where you come from
The music around you makes you someone
After a while the music fits you
Like an old pair of shoes
Detroit has the groove of Motown
Nashville's got a country sound
Jazz is deep in New Orleans
And Memphis got the blues

But here in the islands
There's a sound that's all our own
Heavy on the backbeat
This music is home grown

ITS GOTTA BE ISLAND MUSIC
NO OTHER SOUND CAN DO IT
ONLY ISLAND MUSIC
SOUNDS SO GOOD TO ME
YEAH I LOVE ISLAND MUSIC
THE OCEAN SWIMMIN THRU IT
ONLY ISLAND MUSIC
SOUNDS SO GOOD TO ME
ISLAND MUSIC
ISLAND MUSIC

Around the world people recognize it
It's got a groove that just won't quit
A half-time beat and a skank guitar
Turn it up and drive your car
Harmony that sounds so sweet
The island sound with a reggae beat
A bass guitar and a little slack key
Play that ukelele please

But here in the islands
There's a sound that's all our own
Heavy on the backbeat
This music is home grown

BRIDGE:
Oh I love that Island music
Brother can you give me that drop beat one more time
Island Music, Oooh baby Ooooh baby

Island music 4xs out
