Island Girl Lyrics By Elton John

    i see your teeth flash jamaican honey so sweet
    down where lexington cross 47th street
    oh she’s a big girl she’s standin’ sixfootthree
    turnin’ tricks for the dudes in the big city

    island girl
    what you wantin’ with your white man’s world
    island girl
    black boy want you in his island world
    he want to take you from your racket boss
    he want to save you but the cause is lost
    island girl island girl island girl
    tell me what you wantin’ with your white man’s world

    well she’s black as coal but she burn like a fire
    and she wrap herself around you like a wellworn tire
    you feel her nail scratch your back just like a rake
    oh he one more gone he one more john who make the mistake

    island girl
    what you wantin’ with your white man’s world
    island girl
    black boy want you in his island world
    he want to take you from your racket boss
    he want to save you but the cause is lost
    island girl island girl island girl
    tell me what you wantin’ with your white man’s world

    island girl
    what you wantin’ with your white man’s world
    island girl
    black boy want you in his island world
    he want to take you from your racket boss
    he want to save you but the cause is lost
    island girl island girl island girl
    tell me what you wantin’ with your white man
    tell me what you wantin’ with your white man
    tell me what you wantin’ with your white man
