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

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 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 de boat

One bushel bread' one barrel 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 she hurt from shoes

Me pocket full of empty'

I got calypso blues

She need to bubble like perculatah'

She come from Trinidad so winin' in her nature

Never can't I assess a reps until failure

Tell her if she stops she needs fe fly Air Jamaica

Anytime she land she nah go feel like no stranger

Carry us beyond we similar in behavior

Them no understand our customs and we flavor

Need a natty dred to be the new care taker lord

Dese yankee girl give me big scare

Is black de root' is 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

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

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

She need to she need to she need to

Bubble like perculatah'

She come from Trinidad so winin' in her nature

Never can't I assess a reps until failure

Tell her if she stops she needs fe fly Air Jamaica

Anytime she land she nah go feel like no stranger

Carry us beyond we similar in behavior

Them no understand our customs and we flavor

Need a natty dred to be the new care taker lord

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
