I see your teeth flash
Jamaican honey so sweet
Down where Lexington cross forty seventh street
Oh
she's a big girl
she's standing six foot three
Turning tricks for the dudes in the big city

Island girl what you wantin' wid de white man's world
Island girl black boy want you in his island world
He want to take you from de racket boss

He want to save you but de cause is lost
Island girl
island girl
island girl
Tell me what you wantin' wid de white man's world

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
he one more gone
he one more john who make de mistake

Island girl what you wantin' wid de white man's world
