Prelude[]
As a tropical island, As a tropical island, As a tropical island, As a tropical island. |
Main song[]
On a tropical island, Underneath the molten lava moon. Hangin' with the hula dancers, Askin' questions cause' they got all the answers. |
Puttin' on lotion! Sittin' by the ocean! Rubbin' it on my body! Rubbin' it on my body! |
Get me out of this caa-a-ve, 'Cause it's nothing but a gladiator graa-a-ve. And if I stick to the plaa-a-n, I think I'll turn into a lava maa-a-n. |
I think I'll turn into a lava man! |
