Lyrics

Saga boy from Fyzabad
A little town in Trinidad
Came by plane to New York Town
Dressed up like a circus clown
With his tenor sax in hand
Says he's maestro of a band
Asked him what's the latest thing
Saga boy began to sing
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Oob-La-Ib-Li A-Ib-La
It's the new Calypso fever
Saga met a gal in town
She said she will take him round
He said it's a privilege
So she sold him the Brooklyn bridge
Then she took him to a show
They sat back in the last row
Saga asked her for a kiss
All she said to him was this
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Oob-La-Ib-Li A-Ib-La
It's the new Calypso fever
Then he asked to take her home
Thinking she was all alone
When he took her to her door
This is what poor Saga saw
Shadow of a great big man
Something shining in his hand
He didn't wait to say goodbye
As he ran I heard him cry
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Oob-La-Ib-Li A-Ib-La
It's the new Calypso fever
This here Push-Ka-Pee She Pie
Made me laugh until I cried
Funny thing is that it seems
No one knows just what it means
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Oob-La-Ib-Li A-Ib-La
It's the new Calypso fever
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Oob-La-Ib-Li A-Ib-La
It's the new Calypso fever
