I love the ocean breeze tall palm trees and the bright sunshine
A pretty island lady, the flowers in her hair and her hand in mine
A place where we can go and watch the golden sun go down
With a bottle of rum and my old six string

Hey it's a beautiful day, we'll go out and play in the bright sunshine
The waves are lazy rolling, a breeze is gently blowing and everything is fine
I think I'll go on down to where the music is playing
With a bottle of rum and my old six string

Have me a rum and cola and my old six string
We'll just pull up a chair from anywhere and let the island sing
Play you a song about the wind and the waves and the swaying coconut trees
With a bottle of rum and my old six string

Now the nights are on time with the rhythm and rhyme of a Caribbean breeze
When you lie in the sand you can reach with your hand and touch the diamonds with me
This whole world can pass me by, oh, but that don't bother me
I got a bottle of rum and my old six string

Give her a rum and cola, and one for her friend
Hey, just hand me my guitar and sit down by the bar and I will play again
Play you a song about my paradise, my island in the sun
With a bottle of rum and my old six string

Come on and hand me a rum and cola and my old six string
Well, just pull up a chair from anywhere and let the island sing
I'll play you a song about the wind and the waves and the swaying coconut trees
With a bottle of rum and my old six string


I got a bottle of rum and my old six string
Ooh, I said a bottle of rum and my old six string
