The Island
Whistling a tune
The dusty long track
Hands spread to the bushes
Sandals, Clackity-Clack
Whistling a tune
A smile from the frogs
Applause from cicadas
Sandals, Clackity-Clack
Whistling a tune
The musings of morning
Mimosas slow close
Sandals, Clackity-Clack
Whistling a tune
Join in with the birds
Hand, applause, cheep, croak
Sandals, Clackity-Clack
The dusty long track
Hands spread to the bushes
Sandals, Clackity-Clack
Whistling a tune
A smile from the frogs
Applause from cicadas
Sandals, Clackity-Clack
Whistling a tune
The musings of morning
Mimosas slow close
Sandals, Clackity-Clack
Whistling a tune
Join in with the birds
Hand, applause, cheep, croak
Sandals, Clackity-Clack
