Sing a Tropical Song Lyrics by Frank Loesser

Frank Sings Loesser (Rare and Unreleased Performances)

0

[Verse 1]
\nUpon the island from which we come
\nWe have a national characteristic which is very strong
\nBecause we put the accent upon the wrong syllable
\nAnd we sing a tropical song
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nUpon the island from which we come
\nThe point of interest, beside the coconut and the sarong
\nIs that we put the accent upon the wrong syllable
\nAnd we sing a tropical song
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nWe could show the natural wonders of the scenery
\nTo you
\nWe could show the native birds
\nAnd perhaps give two or three
\nTo you
\nAnd describe the climate and also tell the elevation
\nAnd we could very hastily introduce the population
\nWe could show you the hotel
\nAnd many of the fascinating places
\nWe could take you to the bar
\nWhere the visitors fall upon their faces
\nIf only we had a track
\nWe would probably take you to the races
\nBut we prefer to acquaint you
\nWith the following interesting fact
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nThat on the island from which we come
\nWe have a national characteristic which is very strong
\nAnd if you should remain here
\nYou will discover one peculiar thing
\nBefore very long
\nThat you have put the accent upon the wrong syllable
\nAnd you sing a tropical song
\n
\n[Outro]
\nAnd so we say welcome
\nTo you\n\n
