Make Believe Island
Is waiting just for you,
Beautiful island
Beyond the blue
Make Believe Island
Is waiting 'round the bend
Magical island
Oh lets pretend
In fair tropical splendour
Love will find you and then
To it fondly surrender
Whispering "Kiss me again"
Wonderful island
Where broken dreams come true
Make Believe Island
Beyond the blue
Oh! the best thing that we said ??
The tide and the sobbing ??
When they heard of the death
Of old-cock Robin
But now their singing
Their dear friend too
Since the old woodpecker began to croon
To serenade your lady
Just find a tree that's shady
And when you hear that tick-a-tick-tick, tick-a-tick-tick
Sing right along
Come on and try his rhythm
And let your hearts beat with 'im
And when you hear that, tick-a-tick-tick, tick-a-tick-tick
Happy little Woodpecker Song
