In The Middle Of An Island

Tennessee Ernie Ford

In the middle of an island

In the middle of the ocean

You and I beneath the moonlight

With just the monkeys and the palm trees



In the middle of an island

When it's time to do some kissin'

Plenty time for lotsa lovin'

And walkin' barefoot in the sand



Though there's no island at all

Just a picture on my wall

My darlin', how I wish we could be

(I wish that we could be)



In the middle of an island

In the middle of the ocean

You and I forever, darlin'

In a paradise for two (in a paradise for two)

'





Though there's no island at all

Just a picture on my wall

My darlin', how I wish we could be

(I wish that we could be)



In the middle of an island

In the middle of the ocean

You and I forever, darlin'

In a paradise for two

(In the middle of the ocean on an island kissin' you)
