Down in the western Caribbean,
A hint of paradise I have seen;
There’s a lov-e-ly tropic isle,
With full up hearts and friendly smiles, on.
CHORUS: Roatan, Ro-o-oh Roa-tan,
Roatan, I’m dreaming about Roatan.
Many the fruit growing in the trees,
Many the fish swimming in the sea;
Many the friends each way you go,
So many ways to say hello, [CHORUS]
A year ago I ship out from home,
Money in the pocket and the world to roam;
The northern clime had freeze this man,
So I got me down to Roatan.
Well, I arrive on a sunny day,
Took me down to Sandy Bay;
Felt the warm air caress my skin,
Making me some island frennies, on [CHORUS]
Gettin’ up the beach tonight,
Reel wi’ me darlin’ in the soft moonlight;
Like the palm tree, we bend and sway,
We be there, yessir, o.k. [CHORUS]
FINALE: Gettin’ up the beach to-night,
Reel wi’me darlin’ in the soft moonlight
On Roatan,
Yes I’m gettin’ up the beach to-night,
Reel wi’me darlin’ in the soft moonlight
On Roatan, on Roatan, mmm….on Roatan.
