Island Hopping

Chop down the cherry trees on Mango Street That's the council for you every week I'm just the kind of seafaring guy Who waits for the tide and the town to get high I don't like to do a drop of work Drive in cab nor paint the church It's been the same since I don't know when So I'm going Island hopping again Casper the suspicious ghost He floats the cargo down the coast But that's to risky for a man like me Whose face is known in the territory I'm like a fly in Harry's Bar don't use my wings don't walk to far It's been the same since I don't know when So I'm going island hopping again Been the same since I don't know when But I'm going Island hopping again Now papa Hemingway he rent this boat With U.S bills I'm sure she'll float And I ain't buying on the street Gotta couple of merchants that I gotta meet I'm waiting here for the firebell to ring So I can watch somebody doing something Its been the same since I don't know when So I'm going Island hopping again Been the same since I don't know when But I'm going Island hopping again --- Island Hopping - Joe Strummer
