Chop down the cherry trees on Mango Street    That's the council for you every week    I'm just the kind of seafaring guy    Who waits for the tide and the town to get high    I don't like to do a drop of work    Drive in cab nor paint the church    It's been the same since I dont know when    So I'm going Island hopping again       Casper the suspicious ghost    He floats the cargo down the coast    But thats to risky for a man like me    Whose face is known in the territory    I'm like a fly in Harry's Bar    Dont use my wings dont walk to far    It's been the same since I dont know when    So I'm going island hopping again    Been the same since I dont know when    But I'm going Island hopping again       Now papa Hemingway he rent this boat    With U.S bills I'm sure she'll float    And I ain't buying on the street    Gotta couple of merchants that I gotta meet    I'm waiting here for the firebell to ring    So I can watch somebody doing something    Its been the same since I dont know when    So I'm going Island hopping again    Been the same since I dont know when    But I'm going Island hopping again
