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
