An' all de town, she come to dine
To take me back to Trinidad
Her eyelash false, her face is paint
Fine Calypso woman
Fine Calypso woman
And pads are where de girl she ain't
Don't treat me stomach very nice
Dese Yankee hot dog
Is black de root, is blond de hair
But Calypso girl is good a lot
But here is bad, one dollar buy
She jitterbug when she should waltz
Me heart, she feel so sad
Me feet, she hurt from shoes
An' plenty fish to fill de boat
Cup of coffee, ham on rye
To take me back to Trinidad
Dese Yankee girl give me big scare
Me pocket full of empty
Me throat, she sick from necktie
In Trinidad, one dollar buy
Sittin' by de ocean
She cook me shrimp and rice
One bushel bread, one barrel wine
Sittin' by de ocean
Six coconuts, one female goat
Sittin' by de ocean
Don't got de money
I even think her name is false
Papaya juice, banana pie
Don't got de money
I got Calypso blues
Is what you see, is what she got
Don't got de money
Me heart, she feel so sad
Me heart, she feel so sad
She cook me shrimp and rice
