The Island Canoe Show-Off
Kids island adventure song with a Pacific flavour: log drums, handclaps and a pop band, with a booming, charismatic male voice and a playful rap break. Cocky and funny, sung in English, about a cheeky island hero showing off his best canoe tricks to the whole village.
Lyrics
Gather 'round the reef, check the morning tideGrab a seat on the sand, enjoy the rideI’m the king of the current, the lord of the sprayWatch me make the ocean do whatever I sayMy hull is made of koa, my spirit’s made of sunI’m just getting started, the show has begunLook at my outrigger flyTouching the blue of the skyI’m the master of the waveNobody else is this braveLook at my outrigger flyWinking as I zoom byWatch the master of the waveNobody else is this braveDid you see that spin? That’s a triple-flip rollKeeping every coconut in perfect controlI can balance on the edge while I peel a sweet fruitHey girls on the shore, give a little hootThe whales are all jealous, the sharks are all shyI’m the fastest thing living under the eyeLook at my outrigger flyTouching the blue of the skyI’m the master of the waveNobody else is this braveLook at my outrigger flyWinking as I zoom byWatch the master of the waveNobody else is this braveI’ll jump across the harbor in a single leapWhile the other lazy sailors are fast asleepI’m the pride of the village, the talk of the townIn my wooden chariot, I’ll never go downThrow a flower in the water, watch me catch it on the prowEverybody in the islands, give me a bowLook at my outrigger flyTouching the blue of the skyI’m the master of the waveNobody else is this braveLook at my outrigger flyWinking as I zoom byWatch the master of the waveNobody else is this brave
