        A                       E
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
        F#m             D   
Than be cast away on an island with you
      A                       E
No, I can't think of anything more heavenly
        F#m                       D        E           A
than to have you shipwrecked on a tropical island with me.

                 D                     E
Shipwrecked with you, shipwrecked with you
        A                       E
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
        F#m             D
than be cast away on an island with you.


A                         E
Far from distractions and matters of state,
Bm                      C#
we can quit smoking and quickly lose weight,
A                           D
sleeping till noon and then staying up late,
   Bm                E
at latitude zero and longitude eight.
A                 E
I am a gentleman: should you get hurt,
Bm                     C#
I'll make a tourniquet out of my shirt.
A                         E
You needn't do much, just sit there and flirt,
    Bm                        E
and if it looks drizzly, I'll build us a yurt.

        A                       E
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do,
    F#m                     D   
and that's why I had to get rid of the crew.
     A                                  E
So I lopped off their heads and dropped them in the sea,
        F#m                       D        E           A
just to have you shipwrecked on a tropical island with me.
                 D                     E
Shipwrecked with you, shipwrecked with you
        A                       E
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do,
    F#m                D   
and that's why I decapitated the crew.

A                           E
How could I know there's no island nearby?
Bm                       C#
If I don't eat something soon, I'll just die.
A                         E
I wouldn't eat you.  Oh, never, not I.
Bm                              E
So let's catch a shark and I'll make us a pie.
A                            E
What shall we use for bait?  Lend me a hand.
Bm                       C#
I'll sew it back on when we get to land.
A                          E
But if the shark takes it, that would be grand
Bm                                 E
(because we won't starve to death, you understand).

        A                       E
I can't think of a single thing I wouldn't do
   F#m                      D
to end up shipwrecked on an island with you.
            A                 E
No, there's nobody I wouldn't kill -- nobody
        F#m                       D        E           A
just to have you shipwrecked on a tropical island with me.

                 D                     E
Shipwrecked with you, shipwrecked with you
        A                       E
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
   F#m                      D
To end up shipwrecked on an island with you
