Lyrics
- Think of a city close by a pretty bay
Set in an island that seems to smile and say
Bring all your troubles here
They will be bubbles hereafter
So exquisite yet I can’t picture it to you
Chorus
Think of an evening in June
Under a crystal like moon
Think of an old Spanish tune
You’re in Avalon Town
Closing your eyes for a while
Picture a tropical Isle
Studded with flowers that smile
You’re in Avalon Town
Romance lingers thru ev’ry hour
Romance beckons with all her power to you
Think about old Captain Kid
Think of the chest that he hid
Dream that you’ve opened the lid
You’re in Avalon Town
- Among the fountains atop the mountains there
Is nature’s power in ev’ry flower rare
Brooklets are whispering
And as you’re listening to them
Certain peacefulness speaks of restfulness to you
