This morning when I left home

35 degrees outside

Into a bottle of Firefly rum

And let me swim around

Like an old pirate ship

   Em             D
My little island girl
                      D/F#
Shining like a candy stripe lighthouse
 Em                         D
Sitting on the edge of the world
