[Intro: Mike Love]
Do you ever get the feeling that you gotta get away
It's a symptom of the fever all across the U.S.A
My family doctor told me "Son, the flu is what you have"
But I know it's island fever and I got it real bad

[Verse 1: Mike Love & Group]
Hey doc, I need a pain reliever
(Ooh, I got it bad)
(I've got the island fever)
I got it bad, I got the island fever
(Ooh, I got it bad)
(I've got the island fever)
My baby caught it and I'm not quite sure how
(Ooh, I got it bad)
(I've got the island fever)
She might have got it from her travel brochure now
(Ooh, I got it bad)

[Chorus]
(Bow bow bow ooh)
Come on baby, wouldn't it be nice (Bow bow bow ooh)
If I could take you down to paradise (Bow bow bow ooh)
Sweet little mama, gotta get away (Bow bow bow ooh)
Your daddy knows a little hideaway (Bow bow bow ooh)
[Bridge: Carl Wilson]
Hey girl, I got some good advice
Drive your guy, make him take you down to paradise

[Verse 2: Mike Love & Group]
I've been picking up a love vibration
(Ooh, I got it bad)
(I've got the island fever)
Coming from a little island nation
(Ooh, I got it bad)
(I've got the island fever)
For my own self-preservation
(Ooh, I got it bad)
(I've got the island fever)
Better make a quick reservation
(Ooh, I got it bad)

[Chorus]
(Bow bow bow ooh)
Come on baby, wouldn't it be nice (Bow bow bow ooh)
If I could take you down to paradise (Bow bow bow ooh)
Sweet little mama, gotta get away (Bow bow bow ooh)
Your daddy knows a little hideaway (Bow bow bow ooh)

[Bridge: Carl Wilson]
Hey girl, I've got some good advice
Drive your guy, make him take you down to paradise
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
(Bow bow bow ooh)
Come on baby, wouldn't it be nice (Bow bow bow ooh)
If I could take you down to paradise (Bow bow bow ooh)
Sweet little mama, gotta get away (Bow bow bow ooh)
Your daddy knows a little hideaway (Bow bow bow ooh)
