Lyrics
8 coral atolls In the south Pacific blue White waves and white foam Rip into the view A mountain of sandbags Nothing more that we can do Blowin’ in on over from the other side Meet that modern world Au revoir, Tuvalu No rifles, no more muskets, in Tuvalu Hand-me-down buckets, a sun-bleached canoe The water will rock-and-roll Legacy of Kentucky coal Meet the modern world Black gold and pearl Au revoir, Tuvalu They say we gotta leave some day, from our only home Before we go my darling, won’t you carry off some of the loam The water will roll and rise, comes to some as no surprise Bless our little land Taro and sand We don’t understand Au revoir, Tuvalu.
