     Spring on the Island Written by: Chris Lorne Elliot 1980
     Recorded by: Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers
     Arrangement: Ray Johnson, Kevin Blackmore and Wayne Chaulk
     Lyrics
     (CHORUS)

     G C
     It’s spring on the island, The ice is in the bay,
     G Em Am D
     And the weather getting warmer now, Soon be drifting away.
     C Em C Em
     The boys are out troutin’, Oh they’re going on a tear!
     C G D G
     It’s spring on the island and I wish I was there.

     Verse 1.

     G C
     Ah this boom town’s got me down, I don’t know why I came,
     G Em Am D
     It must’ve been the money, though it works out just the same.
     C Em C Em
     No matter how much I make I spend as fast as I can make it!
     C G D G
     And if I could afford a plane trip out tomorrow I’d take it.

     Verse 2.
     I wish I had the money back I spent on dope and beer,
     Though God knows it’s the only thing made it worth staying here.
     But more than the money I wish I had the time I let
     Slip by me now, there’s more than one way to get into to debt.

     Verse 3.
     And they say that time is money but I think it’s more than that.
     I’ll always have my pay cheque, but I’ll never get my time back.
     So it’s time and a half, or double time, but I think it’s a crime
     And sometimes I think there paying me for wasting my time

     (CHORUS)
     It’s spring on the island, the ice is in the bay
     And the weather gettin’ warmer now, soon be drifting away
     The boys are out troutin’ oh they’re going on a tear
     It’s spring on the island and I wish I was there.

     END
