A happy go lucky, sing-along song about Manhattan

lyrics

Come across to the island
yes come across to the island
come over to the island
because it is the only place to be

Come across to the island
the weather is fine
we're all basking in the warm sunshine
yes the other boroughs maybe cold and damp
so come over to the island and set up camp
we've got everything you want
and all that you need
for once in your life
believe what you read
and come across to the island
come across to the island
come across to the island
and be with me

Come across to the island
I just can't say enough
coming over would convince you
we got the good stuff
The stories it could sing you
if we all gave it a voice
come across to the island
you're making the right choice
to come across to the island
yes come across to the island
come across to the island
and you will see

You may have reservation
pulling into grand central station
that the place, while being grand
is too busy for you to stand
too hurried and too loud
you think you'll get lost in the crowd
but if take a deep breath
and find your way onto the street
you'll be surprised the individuals
you will meet
on the island
you're an islander now
you're on the island
you're an islander now

come across to the island
this ain't no reality TV test
it can chew you up if you're not careful
this place is only for the best
but once you're here you'll find your feet
you'll see it's good for your health
lets burn down all the bridges
and keep this island to ourselves
oh come across to the island
come across to the island
come over to the island
it is the only place to be

Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures New Milford, Connecticut

Songwriting and banging your instruments together

The main thing I love to do is write songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first. ... more
