Lyrics:

Packing all my bags for a vacation
Bidding farewell to my workstation
Really sick and tired of my 9 to 5
Gotta get somewhere where I can feel alive!

Going to the airport, gotta be on time
Gonna go somewhere that will blow my mind!
A place without boundaries, restrictions or rules
(We've really built this up, it had better be cool...)

Paradise Island here we come
Charting our course for the setting sun
Crystal clear waters, pristine beach
Everything you want within arm's reach
Nothing to worry about
Nothing to get you down
Paradise island here we are
Never been so happy to be so far away

Away from the grind of daily life
Away from those headaches, the worries and strife
Gonna just kick back, relax and enjoy
On our private bit of beach without hoi polo!

This place has got everything that I could want!
Motorbiking, diving, acting nonchalant
Forget going home- we got bananas to cook
This ain't third world -- it's first in my book!

Paradise Island we love you
Doing no wrong, always staying true
Freshly picked coconuts, tropical girls
The grea-test getaway in the world
Nothing to worry about
Nothing to get you down
Paradise island here we are
Never been so happy to be so far away

"I can't believe how cheap it is here!"

"Why aren't more people doing this?!"

"This is pretty much heaven on earth."

Alright so ants get everywhere, but that's ok
And the binge drinkers do kind of get in the way
You've got no real cheese, just suspicious goo?
We maybe haven't really thought this through...

Whatcha mean there's no bathroom, just a miniature stream?
And the fat expat's girlfriend is only fifteen...
I went for a swim but a caught a disease
Forget about a tan, my skin's nine hundred degrees!

I thought it would be paradise, I thought it'd be pure
But I'm kinda missing home, this is all I'll endure!

"I've had it with this dump!"

Be wary fellow island-hunter, before you've seen her
It's just sad but true - the grass is always greener

Paradise Island we hate you
I miss my cappuccino and my iPad too
No running water and bug-bitten feet
Creepy old guys and nothing to eat!
Something to worry about, pretty much
Anything will get you down
Paradise Island we were wrong
Feels so good being back where we belong!
