[Intro]
The slam of the gamba set me free
she s got all she ever needed
All I asked the judge to give to me
was tied up down in the marina
twenty-seven feet, white sails and polished fiberglass
I christened her Island time and set sail for paradise
[Chorus]
She s got the house on the lake,
her own living made
Swimming pool and the new corvette,
savings account and alimoney checks
But I ve got the ocean near St. Barth s
The Trade winds and the stars
When I raise my sails on island time
twenty-seven feet of waterline
I ve got the whole nine yards
7 am I bet she s in her car
bumper to bumber in traffic
Just woke up and went up on deck
feel back asleep in my hammock
She s got all the toys and all the noise
crammed into a city crowd
While I m down here on Island time all streched out on the bow
[Chorus]
She s got the house on the lake,
her own living made
Swimming pool and the new corvette,
savings account and alimoney checks
But I ve got the ocean near St. Barth s
The Trade winds and the stars
When I raise my sails on island time
twenty-seven feet of waterline
I ve got the whole nine yards
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
She s got the house on the lake,
her own living made
Swimming pool and the new corvette,
savings account and alimoney checks
But I ve got the ocean near St. Barth s
The Trade winds and the stars
When I raise my sails on island time
twenty-seven feet of waterline
I ve got the whole nine yards
[Outro]
