Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why? Oh, why? oh
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh
Why? Oh, why? oh
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh
[Verse 2]
Sitting by the ocean is where she feels so sad
Sitting by the ocean is where she feels so sad
You ain't got the money to get you back to Trinidad
[Verse 3]
Fine Calypso woman, she cook him shrimp and rice
Fine Calypso woman, she cook him shrimp and rice
Those yankee hot dogs, they'll treat his stomach very nice
[Verse 4]
In Trinidad, a dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie
Six coconut, a female goat, and plenty fish to fill the boat
A bushel bread, a bottle of wine
And all in town, she came to dine
But there is bad, a dollar buy
A cup of coffee, ham on rye
[Verse 5]
Me throat she sick from necktie
Me feet she hurt from shoes
His pocket full of empty
He's got the Calypso blues
[Verse 6]
These yankee girls give him a scare
His black the roots and blondie hair
Her eyelash false, her face is pink
And perhaps not the girl she ain't
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
So sit him at the ocean, your heart, it feels so sad
You ain't got the money to get you back to Trinidad
Sitting by the ocean, your heart, she feels so sad
Because you ain't got the money to get you back to Trinidad
[Verse 9]
Why? Oh, why? oh
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh
Why? Oh, why? oh
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh
[Verse 10]
Why? Oh, why? oh
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh
Why? Oh, why? oh
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh
