Jakes Theme Song:


Donkey’s for sale or rent,
Palm fronds for 50 cents,
One phone, no pool, 4 pets,
I ain't got no room for rent.

Ah, but -- I spend hours pushing the cams,
1 in the water and 3 on land.
I’m a man of means.. by no means,
Just the King of the web cams.

I know every Bonaire Talker and all of their names,
Destination paradise land,
From every Country and every town,
They bring me gifts from the world around.
I'm a man of means by no means,
Just the King of the web cams.

No fins, no tank, no scotch,
ain't got no single-blend.
I'm a man of seas, by no means,
Just the King of the web Cams!

The dream began to unfold
And Jake and Company, The first to be so bold
to start the web cam running
the results are surely stunning

Each day he tends the cams
to clean, to scrub, fix jams
to listen to our posts,, those who ramble, those who boast

He answers all our questions...daily with help and suggestions...
Sharing his family's daily life
We see the kids off to school the housekeeper and of course Linda...Jakes wife.

The dogs, the birds, the people
have become our daily ritual
To have a break in service
would sure make us upset and quite nervous!

Our gratitude is deep
for the scenery that you keep
so well presented...you are commended...
The King of the web cams!

Sherry and I cannot wait to get back to Bonaire so we can buy Jake and Linda dinner again. Jake and Linda, we do appreciate this service that you provide us. You have so many friends here, if you need anything just ask...

Fabulous song! Jake and Linda, I also want to express my gratitude. Your dedication and hard work is appreciated. Not only does this website allow me to dream of the isle of Boanire, it also provides me with at least one chuckle per day - something that everyine needs. I am also gratful for the friendships and contacts I have made because of this board. My students and I are pretty isolated here on this wide prairie. You have opened our world. Because of our contact with you and Aquaman and Bubbles, my students are determined to travel. What a great way for them to gain understanding and tolerance of other cultures!
