Lyrics"Your Own Private Island"
Music & Lyrics by Scott Cooley.
If you make enough money, you can buy your own private island Your outlook will be sunny, through friendly skies to your island When the weekend comes, and you’re feelin’ bored Get in your private plane for the ultimate reward Just you and your money, flyin’ to your own private island If you make enough money, you can buy your own private island It might sound funny, plotting a course to your new island You can make your own rules, no one to tell you what to do Just step on your yacht, and take a short cruise Just you and your money, sailin’ to your own private island Post a sign that says no trespassing Fly a flag that says don’t tread on me Get plastic surgery and change your name Fake your own death and make an escape If you make enough money, you can buy friends on other islands Form your own exclusive club, only for owners of islands After you're isolated from the common folks' world Hop around and act royal like a duke or an earl Just you and your new friends, pretending on your private islands Any time you get lonely, you can buy a wife for your island Don't have to be the only one, livin' the good life on your island When you have so much money, you don't need love When your live-in French maid doesn't get the job done Just you and your honey, married on your own private island Get away from city traffic and make your own noise Build your dream home and fill it up with your toys You can be the professor, she can be your Mary Ann Bang on your bongo drums and get a full-body tan When one just won't be enough, you can buy another private island You can grow your own stuff, and get high on your own second island For the man who has everything, what's left to do Stock it up with your favorite food, drugs and booze Just your money and you, losin' on your two private islands Copyright © ℗ 2018 by Scott Cooley.

Your Own Private Island
A somewhat sarcastic look from the outside in at
the lifestyles of the rich and famous, in the form of a mento ballad with uke, marimba
solo that conveys the having a lot of money does not always lead to happiness.
