lyrics

I LOVE TO LIE UNDER COCONUT PALMS
AND HOLD PRETTY BABIES ASLEEP IN MY ARMS
AND WATCH THE WAVES GO ROLLING BY, OH MY, I SIGH
THE SOUND OF THE SURF, AND THE TROPICAL SAND
A COCONUT RUM RESTING IN MY HANDS
I WATCH THE WORLD GO PASSING BY, OH MY, I SIGH
SOUTH SEA ISLANDS CALLING ME
PURE WHITE SANDS, AND AN EMERALD SEA
WHERE HAPPINESS IS WAITING THERE, FOR YOU, AND ME
SOUTH SEA ISLANDS CALLING ME
JUST TAKE ME BACK, AND SET ME FREE
CLOSE YOUR EYES, AND WE CAN BE THERE, JUST YOU AND ME
I’M BACK AT WORK, WITH THE BOSS HANGING AROUND
MY FEET ARE HARDLY TOUCHING THE GROUND
I WISH THAT I COULD FLY AWAY, OH MY, I SIGH
IT’S GETTING DARK AND IT’S RAINING AGAIN
THERE’S NO SIGN OF SUN EVEN PEEPING IN
IF ONLY I COULD FLY AWAY, OH MY, I SIGH

Louey Hesterman Apollo Bay, Australia

Louey Hesterman’s Whimsy is an autobiographical tale beginning in Echuca by the Murray River and travelling via
Melbourne, Mildura and Vietnam to come to rest comfortably in Apollo Bay.
The scene for Whimsy has been set, and the flights of fancy that include a voyage to the South Seas and a seemingly impossible mash-up of Celtic reels and surf rock suddenly make sense.
Sort of!
