Morris' Nightmare
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Down in the islands where the happy folks stay
Everybody do what Bwana Jim say
He say its ok, it's ok
You can do what you wanna
Do what you like
Twist a big ol' number
Ride a motorbike
It's alright, It's alright
Dance to the drum
Drink a lot of rum
Love till you come to a stop
Swing like a monkey in a coconut tree
Sing like the dolphins in the deep blue sea
Sing it's alright, it's alright
[Spoken:]
"How does Fred Neil do it? Come on Jay Spell"
You know people in the city got nowhere to go
They used to go to bars now they go to Discos
No, no, no disco (uh-uh, no)
They never see the sun
They hardly see the moon
They barely see the ground 'til the snow melts in June
Uptight, It's out of sight
So they save a little money
Take a little trip
They only see the islands from a tacky cruise ship
Buy a little liquor
Buy some sea shells
Husband tries to sleep
Wife just yells
Morris, you can sleep when you get home
Down in the islands where the happy folks stay
Everybody do what Biwana man say
He say its ok, it's ok
It's alright, it's alright
Do what you wanna, do what you like
