This song was inspired by a trip to the island of Jamaica

Verse 1:
Won’t you come to the other side of the island my friend?
I can show you a magical place by the water...it’s Heaven
Once you see it I know that your heart will be happy again
You will find everything that you need when you live in the island way
Chorus:
You got to be livin’ it up
On the secret side of the island
You got to be livin’ it
Verse 2:
Ol’ Jeppe & Ziggy be wailin’ & jammin’ down at the Love Shack
Where the girls are so fine you can scarcely believe it…oh yeah
And the Red Stripe is flowing & everyone’s dancing & singing
You can’t miss the party it goes on forever and ever
Chorus:
You got to be livin’ it up on the secret side of the island
(Red Stripe)
You got to be livin’ it up in the place with no wrongmovers
(No dread)
You got to be livin’ it up in the land of reggae music
Bridge:
And when you sail across that blue lagoon
(On a sunny summer afternoon)
Just take a swig of rum & look up to the skies
(You’ll see the world through different eyes)
Chorus:
You got to be livin’ it up on the secret side of the island
(Red Stripe)
You got to be livin’ it up in the place with no wrongmovers
(No dread)
You got to be livin’ it up in the land of reggae music
(High times)
