Calypso Blues lyrics

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo

Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo

Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...

Sittin' by de ocean

The way she feel so sad

Sittin' by de ocean

The way she feel so sad

You ain't got de money

To take she back to Trinidad

Fine calypso woman

She cook me shrimp and rice

Fine calypso woman

She cook me shrimp and rice

Those junky hot dogs

Don't treat her stomach very nice

In Trinidad, a dollar buy

Papaya juice, banana pie

Six coconut, a female goat

An' plenty fish to full de boat

A bushel bread, a bottle of wine

An' all de town, she come to dine

But here is bad, a dollar buy

A cup of coffee, ham on rye

His throat she sick from necktie

His feet hurt from shoes

His pocket full of empty

His got the Calypso blues

Dese yankee girl give me big scare

Is black de root, an' blonde de hair

Her eyelash false, her face is paint

And pads are where de girl she ain't!

She jitterbug when she should waltz

I even think her name is false

Calypso girl is good a lot

Is what you see, is what you got

So sittin' by de ocean

Me heart, she feel so sad

You ain't got de money

To take she back to Trinidad

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo

Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo

Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
