[Verse]
G C G
Well, Don Bodden woke and saw saw the lovely day
G C D
The breeze was blowin warm and it was calling him to play
G Bm C A
He ate some eggs and toast, put on his swimming clothes
G A D G
Took himself a raft and he headed out to sea
[Verse]
G C G
Well that day was different than most
G C D
For the waves were crashing hard upon the coast
G Bm C A
But he paid it never mind, and wasted no more time
G C D G
Lay upon his raft, and headed out to sea
[Chorus]
G F C D
Get up, get down to the rhythm of the sea
G F D
Get up, get down to where the fishes be
G Am C A
Let the waves come rollin by as the bright sun rises high
G A C D G
Don bodden left his sandals by the coconut tree
[Verse]
G C G
Once he pass the rough and tumble of the surf
G C D
Says he “I’ll off and lay my head down first”
G Bm C A
Close his tired eyes, and breathe a restful sigh
G C D G
As the raft ketch wind and slowly starts to drift.
[Verse]
G C G
As he in sleep, the land begin to shrink
G C D
The man and raft head eastward in a blink
G Bm C A
The bustle of Georgetown is very soonly drowned
G A D G
By the deep blue splashing sounds of the Endless Drink
[Chorus]
G F C D
Get up, get down to the rhythm of the sea
G F D
Get up, get down to where the fishes be
G Am C A
Let the waves come rollin by as the bright sun rises high
G A C D G
Don bodden left his sandals by the coconut tree
[Verse]
G C G
The edge of raft got caught upon some rock
G C D
So there it stayed while Don went sliding off
G Bm
No more did drift that man
C A
For by the Great Creator’s hand
G C D G
Each one became an island on the spot
[Verse]
G C G
This story tells of how it came to be
G C D
The land Cayman we know as islands three
G Bm C A
For Don became the Brac, and the raft stayed right out back
G C D G
Since then Little Cayman’s where she ought to be
[Chorus]
G F C D
Get up, get down to the rhythm of the sea
G F D
Get up, get down to where the fishes be
G Am C A
Let the waves come rollin by as the bright sun rises high
G A C D G
Don bodden left his sandals by the coconut tree
