On an island of green,
Down by the bay where the hibiscus grew,
Lived a rabbit named Nesta with one giant dream to pursue.
He played guitar like no other rabbit you'll ever meet.
Nesta loved to make music with that one-drop reggae beat.
He'd jam in the morning and throughout the entire day,
Making rhythms with his guitar in a mellow way.
But playing alone didn't feel quite complete.
He needed some friends to lay down that proper beat.
So off through the forest young Nesta hopped along.
He came to a tree where he heard a groovy song.
Behind the tree was Peter,
A cheerful raccoon,
Rocking the bass by the light of the moon.
Nesta had been searching for this kind of sound.
He smiled and found a spot to sit on the ground.
Nesta started singing and strumming his guitar.
It was clear right away that together they would go far.
After jamming for a while,
Nesta told Peter about his reggae band dream.
They knew they needed one more member to complete the team.
They journeyed to the swamp where fireflies glow,
To find a young drummer that Peter used to know.
There he was,
Neville the Crocodile,
A drummer with true chops.
He played with passion and skills,
Pulling out all of the stops.
Neville played so cool and so chill.
He drummed on a set of cymbals and gourds with incredible skill.
The band was now complete and set in place,
With Neville on the drums to keep a rock steady pace.
They practiced for days by the ocean in the sand.
They played with the ease of an experienced band.
They thought their band's name should reflect their style and sound,
A name that resonates beyond the island all around.
They called themselves Nesta and the Island Vibe,
A fitting label for these new friends and musical tribe.
Now all they needed was a crowd to listen to their fresh reggae sound,
So they threw a beach party for all the animals around.
With a bonfire light and the stars shining above,
The beach was filled with the spirit of unity and love.
The band played their hearts out with happiness and cheer,
As their music brought all of the animals near.
From that night on,
The Island Vibe played to all near and far.
Nesta had realized his dream.
He had become a reggae star.
