A Boat in the Caribbean Sea
1974
| Chorus: A boat, in the Caribbean Sea Lime, pineapple and coffee The air is soft as a girl's cheek Lime, pineapple and coffee | |
| Cooking isn't too tiring You just wait for the flying fish Through the porthole, all pretty, all shiny They fall right into my saucepan | Hoist the sail and pull on the windlass That's our job, poor sailors The captain often yells at us It must be to pass the time |
| The biggest, the most beautiful boat Wouldn't get very far on the water If there weren't for its sailors Banana cream and coconut punch | Things don't always go the way we want Sun on Monday, rain on Sunday One day love, one day songs There are always compensations |
