D                         G                     A
Took my telescope to sea, bound for outer space

D                       G
To a lonely island in a very special place

   D                           G                         A
An atoll with a blue lagoon, a point break full of grace

D                         G
Lava flows from long ago, bubble up this place

    D                                  G                  A
And thank the Lord for a watering hole open night and day

      D                                   G
Where buccaneers can sip their rum in the old Ti Punch Café

 D                                 G                    A
Above the entrance curtain hangs a well-used frying pan

    D                            G
The owner's not the Aga Khan, it is the Jolly Mon!

  D                             G
I scoped the sky for passersby, Jolly Mon planned the trip

         D                        G                  A
From the Pleiades, Desdemona came in her rocket ship

D                           G                      A
Eddie brought them burgers, Banky brought his band

        D                                            G
And the Little Prince said, "Tout le monde", did the beguine in the sand, hey

[Verse 4]
        D                         G
Now the party's done, fun tickets gone

   D                  G
We sang and loved and hoped

     D                 G
Then I woke up back in twenty

                A
Beneath my telescope

Bm           G
Galaxies and nautilus shells

Bm               G
Look the same to me

   Bm                G
So ask yourself this question

                 A    D  A G  A D  A G  A
"How couldn't it be?"
