Buy Me An Island - Audience

Why do folks abuse me when I don’t even know 'em?

Others shout for the money that I know I don’t even owe 'em

It’s these and many other things that causes me to cry

You ain’t heard the half of it and neither have I

Why do old ladies hit me when I help 'em cross the street

Even my old dog bit me when I offered him things to eat

Getting' sick and tired of life, just can’t stand the pace

Everything I do just bounces back in my face

I’m gonna buy me an island in the sun

Stay there 'til my days are done

Life’s gonna be coconut trees and swimmin' in the sea for me

No-one's gonna take that from me

Every time I wash my car it starts to pour with rain

Wash it for a second time, ski’es open up all over again

I’d like to put it up for sale and go to work by 'bus

But no-one wants to buy it 'cos the engine’s bust
