I Am Going Back To Nosy Be
The waves there are a rising,
the wind puffs surprising,
the feelings motivating,
sufficing,
and away we all go.
The golden doubloons are a shining,
enticing,
enthralling,
amid the twinkles;
winking from within the sand
just for show.
I am going back to Nosy Be,
to Nosy,
to Nosy!
I am going back to Nosy Be,
splendid paradise island in the sea.
I am going back to Nosy Be,
to Nosy,
to Nosy,
to carouse with the dames by the surging sea....,
…..Oh? I don't know...!
I just sit here a dreaming,
a longing
and steaming
as I think about that heaven down by the sea.
I am going back to Nosy Be,
to Nosy,
to Nosy,
that land filled with passion and exciting posy.
I am going back to Nosy Be,
to Nosy,
to Nosy!
I am going back to Nosy Be....
…Ah man, we'll just wait and see...!
The native queens are all a pining
for me so divinely,
so finely,
as they lay out nude by the sand and sea.
I take care to spread their lotion,
to offer forth my magic potion,
as we surge with the motion by the sand and sea.
I am going back to Nosy Be....
to Nosy,
to Nosy!
