Calypso Blues

Sittin' by de ocean Me heart, she feel so sad Sittin' by de ocean Me heart, she feel so sad Don't got de money To take me back to Trinidad Fine calypso woman She cook me shrimps and rice Fine calypso woman She cook me shrimps and rice But dese yankee hot dogs Don't treat me stomach very nice In Trinidad, one dollar buy Papaya juice Banana pie Six coconuts One female goat An' plenty fish To rock de boat One bushel bread One barrel o' wine An' all de town She come to dine But here is bad One dollar buy Cup of coffee Ham on rye Me throat she sick from necktie Me feet hurt from shoes Me pocket full of empty I got Calypso blues Here we go Oh yeah Oh yeah La la la la la la Dese yankee girls Give me big scare Is black de root Is blonde de hair Her eyelash false Her face is paint And what you see Is what she ain't She tries to jam When she should waltz I even think Her teeth is false But calypso girl is good a lot Is what you see Is what she got Sittin' by de ocean Me heart, she feel so sad Don't got de money To take me back to Trinidad
