We left the cold behind us
On a plane from JFK
Now we're sitting by the water
Where the palm trees gently sway
The landlord and the boss man
They can wonder where we've gone
We're too busy doing nothing
From the dusk until the dawn

Mango sweet and sunshine
That's all we need today
Mango sweet and sunshine
We're never going away
The hammock and the ocean
And a smile on every face
Mango sweet and sunshine
We finally found our place

The morning comes so easy
There's no alarm clock by the bed
Just a rooster in the distance
And the beach calls us instead
We breakfast on papaya
With our feet upon the sand
And the only thing we're rushing
Is the fruit drink in our hand

Mango sweet and sunshine
That's all we need today
Mango sweet and sunshine
We're never going away
The hammock and the ocean
And a smile on every face
Mango sweet and sunshine
We finally found our place

Now some folks back home are wondering
What's become of us it's true
But if they saw this turquoise water
They'd be packing their bags too
The temples in the morning
And the night market at dusk
This easy living life here
Well it sure agrees with us

The local folks are friendly
And they taught us how to say
A greeting and a thank you
And we practice every day
The food is like a dream come true
So spicy and so fine
And when the sun sets on the islands
There's no place we'd rather dine

Mango sweet and sunshine
That's all we need today
Mango sweet and sunshine
We're never going away
The hammock and the ocean
And a smile on every face
Mango sweet and sunshine
We finally found our place
