[verse]
Iâm living here in Banjo Bay,
I donât have a lot to say,
Living here day to day for me.
The sun keeps burning me brown,
I donât need a ride into town,
Got a note from home just yesterday.
The palm trees keep sinking in the sand,
Come on lend me a hand,
I need help to gather in the sun.
I live on coconut and banana,
The beach my home the sea my veranda,
I have my stash, papers and a light.
Itâs all right on Banjo Bay.
[BRIDGE]
Thereâs only one thing Iâve wanted,
Thereâs only one thing that I need,
Thereâs only one thing thatâs haunting me,
To have someone, here with me.
On Banjo Bay.
[verse]
I went to see the old beach doctor,
He said, âSon you hadnât oughta,
Sleep alone it makes you mean and old.â
He sent over his only daughter,
Sheâs sweet like coconut butter,
Sheâs all I need to get me through my life.
Itâs all right on Banjo Bay.
[BRIDGE]
Thereâs only one thing Iâve wanted,
Thereâs only one thing that I need,
Thereâs only one thing thatâs haunting me,
To have someone, here with me.
On Banjo Bay.
[Solo verse]
C, E7, Am, E7. C, E7, Am, E7, Am, E7, Am.
[BRIDGE]
Thereâs only one thing Iâve wanted,
Thereâs only one thing that I need,
Thereâs only one thing thatâs haunting me,
To have someone, here with me.
On Banjo Bay.
[verse]
Donât have a job I donât have money,
She calls me man and I call her honey,
Sheâs all I need to get me through my life.
Donât have a care I donât have a worry,
She says man you can die if you hurry,
Sheâs all I need to get me through my life,
Itâs all right, on Banjo Bay.
On Banjo Bay.
On Banjo Bay.
On Banjo Bay. . . .
