Lyrics
1. Just about a mile or two from loveland
Across Dan Cupid’s Bay
There’s a beautiful Isle
Where each one wears a smile
And they turn night into day
It’s a dandy little spot for lovers
How’d you like to go there for a little while
It’s the Isle of Spooney Spoons
Golden dreams and honeymoons
Is this Beautiful Spooney Isle
CHORUS
Beautiful Spooney ooney Isle
Island where nature’s charms beguile
Girlies and fellows love to anchor there
For kisses and hugs are floating thro’ the air
On Beautiful Spooney ooney Isle
Loving is done in loving style
If you care for some wooing
Some billing and cooing
Dearie, trip with me, skip with me
Take a good tip and see
That Beautiful Spooney Isle
2. Sunbeams never fall on Spooney Island
It’s always night time there
Every month there is June
Every flower is in bloom
And each fruit tree has it’s “pair”
There are no mosquitoes to annoy you
For the only insect is the kissing bug”
Now the way to reach this place
Is aboard the ship “Embrace”
That’s propelled by a kiss and hug
