"Island Girl" is a song performed by Elton John that went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975. The lyrics are about a prostitute, and a man who wants to take her back to Jamaica:
I see your teeth flash, Jamaican honey so sweet
Down where Lexington cross 47th Street
She's a big girl, she's standing six foot three
Turning tricks for the dudes in the big city
....
Island girl
Black boy want you in his island world
He want to take you from the racket boss
He want to save you but the cause is lost

Billboard Hot 100 number one single November 1, 1975 |
Succeeded by "That's the Way (I Like It)" by KC & The Sunshine Band |
