(words & music by Harlan Collins)

 

I'm Mr. Calypso

I'm Mr. Calypso

I'm Mr. Calypso

And I play the bongo drum

I'm Mr. Calypso

I'm Mr. Calypso

So hard to resisto

All the evenings soaked in rum

 

I am a plain caucasian boy

Born in the corn of Illinois

But when the moon comes out to play

I'm in a peculiar way

 

I'm Mr. Calypso

I'm Mr. Calypso

I'm Mr. Calypso

And I play the bongo drum

I'm Mr. Calypso

I'm Mr. Calypso

So hard to resisto

All the evenings soaked in rum

 

People who go to sleep at night

They will be blanco all their life

Wondering till they're in the grave

Why do the madmen rave

 

I'm Mr. Calypso

I'm Mr. Calypso

I'm Mr. Calypso

And I play the bongo drum

I'm Mr. Calypso

I'm Mr. Calypso

So hard to resisto

All the evenings soaked in rum
