One and a-two and a-three
Ya-tya-da tya tya da tya tya da tya
Ta dee-da-dum
On a desert island, a magic yours and my land
Everyday's a holiday with you
Under a blue sky dear we could get an idea
Of what our two lips were meant to do
Strolling beside you hand in hand we'll go
Through love's promised land dear
All our lives I know believe me
Happiness would be ours if for only three hours
On a desert island in my dreams
Ya-tya-da tya tya da tya tya da tya
Ta dee-da-dum
Ya-tya-da tya tya da tya tya da tya
Ta dee-da-dum (etc.)
Strolling beside you hand in hand we'll go
Through love's promise land dear
All our lives I know sincerely
Every gal and guy can have a desert island
If they are in love as much as we
Happiness will be ours if for only three hours
On a desert island in my dreams...
On a desert island in my dreams
