lyrics

Pack your bags aboard the ship, prepare yourself to take a trip
To a hidden land far across the sea
We'll sail along the ocean miles, until we reach that fabled isle
The finest shrine to modern industry
The wind and waves deliver new additions:
Collected things that others threw away
It journeys here to make a home in this unnatural wonder:
The perfect place to take our holiday

Come on now let's go to Plastic Island
The greatest tropic hideaway that you will ever see
Captain, set a course for Plastic Island
A floating paradise made by you and me

And when it's time to come ashore, we'll venture out to explore
The treasure trove of wonders all around
Each new debris discovery, a plastic piece of history
It's like a pirate's cove, a worldwide lost and found
The animals might look a little funny
As they walk the beach to catch the cathode rays
But when the day is done the toxic fumes make rainbows in the sunset
It's guaranteed to take your breath away

Come on now let's go to Plastic Island
The greatest tropic hideaway that you will ever see
Captain, set a course for Plastic Island
Bring a piece back home, the souvenirs are free

It's getting bigger and better than before
Every day it grows, so there's always room for more
And if it keeps on going, one day you know it might be true
That Plastic Island might come and visit you

So come on now let's go to Plastic Island
The greatest tropic hideaway that you will ever see
Captain, set a course for Plastic Island
A floating paradise made by you and me
