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 the ocean

Me heart she feel so sad

Sittin' by the ocean

Me heart she feel so sad

Don't got the money

To take me back to Trinidad

Fine calypso woman

She cook me shrimp and rice

Fine calypso woman

She cook me shrimp and rice

Dese yankee hot dogs

Don't treat me stomach very nice

In Trinidad one dollar buy

Papaya juice banana pie

Six coconut one female goat

An' plenty fish to fill the boat

One bushel bread one barrel wine

An' all the 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

And she gream from this watch

Me over cold I lose

Me heart cheerful of lonely

I got calypso blues

These yankee girl give me big scare

Is black the root is blonde the hair

Her eyelash false her face is paint

Her pads are where the girl she ain't

She jitterbug when she should waltz

I even think her name is false

But calypso girl is good a lot

Is what you see is what she got

Sittin' by the ocean

Me heart she feel so sad

Sittin' by the ocean

Me heart she feel so sad

Don't got the money

To take me 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

Wa oo oo wa oo oo

Wa oo wa oo wa oo wa ay

Wa oo oo wa oo oo
