Dear Calypso

From the crow's nest high, I can spy the little islands

Strewn like stones in the salty sea

Pour the rum-pum-pum, hearts are beating like the drum

The madness taking me (ho!)

One day should port be made

I'll miss her how her waves throw

This day we shan't delay

On our way, our dear Calypso

From the starboard bow, I can spy a city ruined

Taken siege by a pirate's lance

Plundered gold that was taken long ago

Afore we had our chance (ta!)

One day should port be made

I'll miss her how her waves throw

This day we shan't delay

On our way, our dear Calypso

From the decks below, I can spy out through the porthole

Kingly ships of a naval fleet

While we schemed our raid, our plan had been belayed

For they'd made their retreat (dang it!)

One day should port be made

I'll miss her how her waves throw

This day we shan't delay

On our way, our dear Calypso

From the port side shroud, I can spy under the moonlight

Dreams of fortune awaiting me

Gold and rum, all there is under the sun

But fate would disagree (hey!)

Someday if port be made

I'll miss her how her waves throw

This day we shan't delay

On our way, our dear Calypso

At the Captain's wheel, he can spy out the horizon

Hands-on deck! "Tally-Ho!", he cries

Silver, Gold Plenty coffers to behold

Before your very eyes!

One day should port be made

I'll miss her how her waves throw

This day we shan't delay

On our way, our dear Calypso
