Some sailors say they sail for several years and seldom see the sand at all
Oh I know that must be kind of dull
The sea's a salty slippery friend it smells like fish and d**h and never ends
Oh you know this life is kind of dull
All we do is sail around for miles and miles and
All we want is a bit of dirt and sand
A little precious island
Precious island, precious island
When all the world is wet you bet we get a little funny in the head
And we don't care if it's Hamilton or somewhere with better hotels like maybe Thailand
Everything that's not the sea
Is a little precious island to me
All we do is sail around for miles and miles and
All we want is a bit of dirt and sand
A little precious island
Precious island, precious island
When all the world is wet you bet we get a little funny in the head
And we don't care if it's Oshawa or somewhere with fewer trucks like the Scottish Highlands
Everything that's not the sea
Is a little precious island to me
There's a thousand reasons to hate the water
Unless you are a k**er whale, a squid or a sea otter
You need a precious island, precious island
When all the world is wet you bet we get a little funny in the head
And we don't care if it's Pickering or somewhere where the cows are loud and the malls are silent
Everything that's not the sea
Is a little precious island to me
