Wah-oh, wah-oh
Wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh
Wah-oh, wah-oh
Wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh
Sittin’ by de ocean
The wave she feel so sad
Sittin’ by de ocean
The wave she feel so sad
You ain’t got de money
To get you back to Trinidad
Fine calypso woman
She cook him shrimp and rice
Fine calypso woman
She cook him shrimp and rice
Those yankee hot dogs
Don’t treat the stomach very nice
In Trinidad, a dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie
Six coconut, a female goat
And plenty fish to full de boat
A bushel bread, a bottle of wine
And all de town, she come to dine
But there is bad, a dollar buy
A cup of coffee, ham on rye
Woo
Me throat she sick from necktie
Me feet she hurt from shoes
His pocket full of empty
He’s got the Calypso blues
These yankee girl give him a scare
Is black de roots, and blonde de hair
Her eyelash false, her face is paint
And perhaps not de girl she ain’t
She jitterbug when she should waltz
I even think her name was false
Calypso girl is good a lot
Is what you see, is what you got
So sittin’ at de ocean
Your heart, she feel so sad
You ain’t got de money
To get you back to Trinidad
Sittin’ by de ocean
Your heart, she feel so sad
Because you ain’t got no money
To take get you back to Trinidad
Wah-oh, wah-oh
Wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh
Wah-oh, wah-oh
Wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh
Wah-oh, wah-oh
Wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh
Woo
Wah-oh, wah-oh
Wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh
