Elton John Island Girl Lyrics

Intro: ( Dm Bb ) x2
I see your teeth flash, Jamaican honey, so sweet, down where Lexington cross 47th Street
She's a big girl, she's standing six foot three, turning tricks for the dudes in the big city

Island girl, what you wanting with the white man's world?
Island girl, black boy want you in his island world
He want to take you from the racket boss, he want to save you but the cause is lost

Island girl, island girl, island girl, tell me what you wanting with the white man's world
Bridge: ( Dm Bb ) x2
She's black as coal but she burn like a fire, and she wrap herself around you, like a well worn tire
You feel her nail scratch your back, just like a rake
Oh, ho, he one more gone, he one more John who make the mistake
