UNCLE CHANG'S BAND - The Sipadan Song

The amazing house band from Uncle Chang's island lodge on Pulau Mabul, Malaysian Borneo :

Ben-Ben - lead guitar
Al-Al - rhythm guitar
Nick-Nick - drums

If you spend a few days there, this song will never leave your head again (sung to the tune of Harry Belafonte's "Jamaica Farewell") :

THE SIPADAN SONG

There's an island in the Celebes Sea,
The name's Sipadan you must go and see,
If you're a diver and you want the best,
Come go along and we'll do the rest.

Chorus :
Well I'm glad to say the Drop Off's OK,
Barracuda Point's not far away,
Lobster Lair is also there,
And the Hanging Gardens are very rare.

Divers down at the water side,
Looking at the Drop Off with gaping eyes,
Wondering what's there down below,
Is it Nobby Clark or is it Jacques Cousteau?

Chorus

There's a turtle skeleton in the Turtle Cave,
You can go to see it if you're feeling brave,
Dive right in until it ends,
But don't stay too long or you'll get the bends!

Chorus

White Tip Avenue and the Turtle Patch,
The Coral Garden -- there is no match,
Soft coral, hard coral, and sea whips too,
Tropical fish to amaze you.

Chorus

There are so many places you may have seen,
The Caribbean Islands, the Coral Sea,
The Barrier Reef and the Maldives too,
But Sipadan Island, that's something new!

Chorus

Jacques Cousteau and Calypso came,
"Oh Gee, micro paradise!" he did acclaim,
Divers in silver up and down the reef,
Cameras clicking, there was no relief!

Chorus

Well... Sad to say you're leaving tomorrow,
Sipadan Island will be far away,
I know that when you leave her shore,
There'll be memories in your heart for ever more.

Chorus...
