Islanders
Rarotonga
is the capital of the Cook Islands
Saint Lucia's of the Castries
And Victoria the Seychelles.
Rarotongan's speak Maori and English
Saint Lucians English and Kweyol
And Seychelles Creole, English and French.
So we have something in common.
Rarotongan's
love their sports
Soccer and rugby are the most popular
The beaches, the lagoon, the ocean
And the mountains all beckon
Guided inland tramping and tours
Snorkelling and fishing, and sailing too.
Saint Lucians add more to sports
Cricket and Carifta Games
Boys don't play netball
But they do basketball.
And
Seychellois cannot escape the sea
Canoeing, surfing and swimming especially.
Indeed, all like Rarotongan's and Saint Lucians
Except we've never heard of a vaka.
So we have more than something in common.
Rarotongan's
fly over their islands in microlights
Seychellois do it by helicopter
While Saint Lucian dance to the calypso.
Seychellois love the calypso too.
We didn't know what it was all about
But now we do.
Saint Lucians enjoy a Creole Day
And Seychellois week.
Lots of dancing in the streets
Creole food and music too.
If we could all get together
It'd be just FUN, FUN, and FUN!
Indeed we do have
A lot more than something in common.
