Lyrics

(All)
There’s a place, where the boat leaves from
It takes away all your big problems
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

(Nadirah)
Take one part sand, and one part sea,
one part shade of banana tree
(Tina)
The drinks they’re cold and the boys they are hot
And I know this is the place for me

(All)
So get away to where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big problems
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

(Jimmy)
See the problem is that you’re down there
And there’s a perfectly good island somewhere
(Pete)
Where a ride that floats and don’t bring your coats
You won’t need them where we are going

(All)
So get away to where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big problems
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

Pick me up
Pick me up
Pick me up

Put me down
Down on the sand where its cool
Put me down
Where I fall might off my stool
Put me down
til the morning comes around

(Jimmy)
We got sunshine and ladies and pina colodas
and Bob Marley songs playing
There’s a sound in my ear that I want you to hear
Soft tropical lips are saying

(All)
Get away to where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big problems
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

Does it work for me?
Yeah yeah
Will it work for you?
Yeah yeah
If you believe it will
Yeah yeah
It will come true

Deja deja deja vu, believe it
And it will come true
Veja veja veja du
What works for me might work for you

Get away to where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big problems
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

Deja deja deja vu, believe it
And it will come true
Veja veja veja du
What works for me might work for you
