Beach Boy!
The smell of a Southern island
Is burning burning burning like a fire
Deep in your eyes
I see the sighs
Deep in the eyes
Your smile is gleaming gleaming gleaming
Like the stars of paradise
Swimmer in the glimmer
Glimmer of the moonbeams
Thought the waters falling
I can see the shimmer
Shimmer of your arms
And hear the natives calling
Beach Boy!
The memory of your kisses
Is burning burning burning
Like a deep sand
Beside the sea
Your arms around me
While waters pound me
My heart is beating beating beating
With the waves in ecstasy
Beach Boy!

This song is set on an unspecified 'Southern island'. See the exhibit Significant Others to explore the exoticising of the Pacific regiion.
