Lyrics

If you ever, ever come to the island

if you ever, ever come to the island
don’t stay too long
don’t stay too long

But If you ever, stay a little too long

if you ever, stay a little too long

better not get married
you better not get married

But If you ever, if you ever get married

if you ever, ever up and get married

better not have children (no)
better don’t have children

But If you ever, if you ever have children
the children will laugh and play

till the day comes when they move away

now the children live so far away

they leave you wondering
will they come home one day?

If you ever, ever come to the island

if you ever, ever come to the island
don’t stay too long
don’t stay too long

But If you ever, stay a little too long
the children have children of their own

and you can’t believe your eyes
when you see how they have grown
now the children live so far away
they come home again for a holiday

and they want to stay

just one more day

please please please

If you ever, ever come to the island
don’t stay too long

don’t stay too long
don’t stay for one year
don’t stay for two years
don’t stay for twenty years
for forty years
for ninety years

for four hundred years
for two thousand years
don’t stay too long

don’t stay too long
doncha stay too long
