DmSix coconut, a female goat,
BbAn' plenty fish to fill di boat.
DmOne bushel bread, a bottle of wine,
BbAn' all in town, she come to dine.
DmBut there is bad, one dollar buy
BbA cup of coffee, ham on rye.

He's got Calypso Bbblues.
DmDese jockey girls give him a scare,
Is black de root, is blonde de Bbhair.
DmHer eyelash false, her face is pink,
And perhaps not the girl she Bbain't
DmShe jitterbug when she should waltz,
I even think her name was Bbfalse.
DmCalypso girl is good a lot,
Is what you see, is what you Bbgot.
DmSo sittin' at di ocean
You heart it feel so Bbsad,
DmYou ain't got di money
To take she back to TriniBbdad.
DmSo sittin' at di ocean
Your heart it feel so Bbsad,
DmBecause you ain't got di money
To take she back to TriniBbdad.

[Verse 1]

Wa-yoh wa-yoh wa-yoh wa-yoh

[Chorus]

Sittin' by di ocean

Di wave, she feel so sad,

Sittin' by di ocean,

Di wave, she feel so sad...

You ain't got di money

To take she back to Trinidad.

Fine calypso woman,

She cookin' shrimp and rice,

Fine calypso woman,

She cookin' shrimp and rice

Those jockey hot dogs

Don't treat 'he stomach very nice.

In Trinidad, a dollar buy

Papaya juice, banana pie,

Six coconut, a female goat,

An' plenty fish to fill di boat.

One bushel bread, a bottle of wine,

An' all in town, she come to dine.

But there is bad, one dollar buy

A cup of coffee, ham on rye.

Dm Bb

Woooooo

Me thought she sip from nectar,

Me feed di heart from juice.

His pocket full of empty,

He's got Calypso blues.

Dese jockey girls give him a scare,

Is black de root, is blonde de hair.

Her eyelash false, her face is pink,

And perhaps not the 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 di ocean

You heart it feel so sad,

You ain't got di money

To take she back to Trinidad.

So sittin' at di ocean

Your heart it feel so sad,

Because you ain't got di money

To take she back to Trinidad.

[Outro]

Wa-yoh wa-yoh wa-yoh wa-yoh

Wa-yoh wa-yoh wa-yoh wa-yoh

Wa-yoh, wa-yooooooh

Wa-yoh wa-yoh wa-yoh wa-yoh

Wa-yoh, wa-yooooooh

Woooooo
