CHORUS—Oceans, gulfs, and bays and seas; Channels, and straits, sounds, if you please; Great archipelagoes, too, and all these Are covered with green little islands. All over the earth are water and land, Beneath the ships or where we stand, And far beyond the ocean strand Are thousands of green little islands. Cho. —Continents and capes there are, Isthmus and peninsula, Mountains and valleys, and shore stretching far; And thousands of green little islands. All over the globe some circles are found; From east to west they stretch around, Some go from north to southern bound, Right over the green little islands. Cho. —Great equator, tropics, too, Latitude lines, longitude, too, Polar circles, and all go thro' The thousands of green little islands. Oh! don't you think 'tis pleasant to know About the sea and land just so? And how the lines, the circles go, Right over the green little islands. Cho.—Now you hear how we can sing; This is, today, all we can bring; Come again soon and then hear sung The names of the green little islands.
