Giving you a high-5 Island Way
Busking with the band on Market Day
Met an island gal out digging clams

Traded her a song for bread and jam
Making love with Lily here in May
Now we got a baby on the way

The Island Way...
Got a couple jobs just to pay the rent
In the summer move back to our tent

Can't afford the dream in paradise
Living on a boat if the winter's nice
Splitting firewood and making hay

Learning how to live the Island Way
The Island Way...
Living on a Island you'll get wet

Take a BC Ferry and go deeper in debt
Looking in the rear view while you wait
There goes a bicycle built for eight

Suddenly electric bikes look great
Human pedal power - lets celebrate
The Island Way...

At eco-friendly Lotus Land divine
We're building us a future by green design
The grinding wheels of bureaucracy

I tell you man don't take it personally
We're surrounded by a sea of opinion
It's a wonder how we ever get things done

The Island Way...
