    I'm going to see my girlfriend
    Woh
    In the sunny Caribbean sea

    I don't wanna be a bus driver all my life
    I've seen too much of Brixton town in the night
    Fly away on Coconut Airways
    Fly me high, Barbados sky

    I look up the sky and I see the clouds
    I look down at the ground and I see the rain go down the drains
    Fly away on Coconut Airways
    Fly me high, Barbados sky

    Woh
    I'm going to Barbados
    Woh
    Back to the palm trees
    Woh
    I'm going to see my girlfriend
    Woh
    In the sunny Caribbean sea

    Far away from London Town and the rain
    It's really very nice to be home again
    Mary Jane met the Coconut Airplane
    Now I know she loves me so

    Woh
    I'm going to Barbados
    Woh
    Back to the palm trees
    Woh
    I'm going to see my girl friend
    Woh
    In the sunny Caribbean sea

    Ladies and gentlemen, we are now commencing our approach to Bridgetown, Barbados
    The weather is fine with a maximum temperature of ninety degrees Fahrenheit
    The sky is blue and the palm trees are really cool
    Captain Willcock and his crew hope you have had a pleasant flight
    And that you will fly Coconut Airways again

    I'm going to Barbados
    Woh
    Back to the palm trees
    Woh
    I'm going to see my girlfriend
    Woh
    In the sunny Caribbean sea

    I'm going to Barbados
    Woh
    Back to the palm trees

    I'm going to Barbados
