My Adventure Island
Here on my island I do what I like. I can get my bike as dirty as I like.
Here on my island I speed through the summer breeze and I fly through the winter sky.
But I have to remember to switch the light on when it’s night or I might get a fright.
I have rules around here that I’m happy to share.
Sisters and brothers are banned it’s sure to be grand.
I am so rich but I need to get my ditch fixed.
Here on my island I swing through the vines and I like to race through the mines.
Here on my island I try to play with my pet monkey but he’s always too jumpy.
Here on my island I have shops that sell free endless lolly pops!
If you don’t want to stay I can let my dinosaur guide chase you away.
At night Norm (he’s my robot) comes and sleeps with me if there’s a storm.

Sometimes it gets a bit lonely when everyone is in bed... that’s why here on my island it’s so close to home and all in my head.
