Lyrics
Here in the Grove
(R. Wuagneux)
Well I'm livin' and rollin' bones
I'm just protectin' my sanity
where else can I groove
'cept here in the grove
And everywhere that I go
I'm meetin' people who are as strange as me
where else can they groove
'cept here in the grove
And if it's flyin' that you want
you can get as high as you wanna go
cause those strong Caribbean winds
they're gonna fill your sails
yes they'll blow
cause they'll blow you away
And you know when the Grove's in season
It's voulez vous with savoir-faire
And y'know that the girls ain't teasin'.
.it's any time any place anywhere.
Yes I'm livin and rollin bones
hangin with high society
where else can they groove
'cept here in the grove
At night people hangin out
getting strange as they wanna be
where else can they groove
'cept here in the grove
And if it's flyin' that you want
you can get as high as you wanna go
cause those strong Caribbean winds
they're gonna fill your sails
yes they'll blow
cause they'll blow you away
And you know when the Grove's in season
