Natalie Cole - Take A Look

Calypso Blues

Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh
Ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ay
Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh
Ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ay

Sittin' by de ocean
Mi heart, she feel so sad
Sittin' by de ocean
Mi heart, she feel so sad
Don't got de money
To take mi back to Trinidad

Fine Calypso woman
She cook mi shrimps and rice
Fine Calypso woman
She cook mi shrimps and rice
But dese Yankee hot dogs
Don't treat mi stomach very nice

In Trinidad, one dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie
Six coconuts, one female goat
An' plenty fish to rock de boat
One bushel bread, one barrel of wine
An' all de town, she come to dine
But here is bad, one dollar buy
Cup of coffee, ham on rye

Oh, mi throat, she sick from necktie
Mi feet, she hurt from shoes
Mi pocket full of empty
I got Calypso blues

Here we go
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh
La-la-la, la-la-la
Oh
Oh

Dese Yankee girls give mi big scare
Is black de root, is blonde de hair
Her eyelash false, her face is paint
And what you see is what she ain't
She drives to dem, when she should waltz
I even think her teeth is false
But Calypso girl is good a lot
Is what you see, is what she got

Sittin' by de ocean
Mi heart, she feel so sad
Don't got de money
To take mi back to Trinidad

Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh
Ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ay
Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh
Ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ay
Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh
Ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ay (I'm going back to my baby)
Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh
Ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ay

Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh (I'm going back, I'm going back, I'm going back)
Ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ay
Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh (I'm going back, I'm going back, I'm going back)
Ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ay (I'm going back to my baby)
Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh
Ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ay
Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh
Ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ay

Yeah, you hear me callin'
Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh
Ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ay
