Sha-la-la-la-la-la my lady In the sun with your hair fluffy Can you hear me now calling your name From across the house A summer's day laughing and a-hidin' Chasing dogs out on Monkey Island She was the color of white and speckles And we shared the hours without number Until one day when the sky turned dark And the winds grew wild Caught by the rain and blinded by the lightnin' We put her jacket on, there on Monkey Island I held her close Until the storm passed And we fell down sleeping in the dry house Both our bodies drying in the inside, calm inside So, sha-la-la-la-la-la my lady In the sun, thunder-jacket undone Now, ev'ry mile away and ev'ry day such a little quieter I'll remember the nights and the bark sounds Make you calm, out on Monkey Island
