Calypso - Ernst Jandl

Calypso Lyrics

To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean,
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and living,
In search of the answers of questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing,
Part of beginning to understand,Aye Calypso the places you've been to,
The things that you've shown us,
The stories you tell
Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit,
The men who have served you so long and so wellHi dee ay-ee ooo doo-dle oh
Oo do do do do do doo-dle ay yee
Doo-dle ay eeLike the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell
Joyful and loving in letting it beAye Calypso the places you've been to,
The things that you've shown us,

The stories you tell
Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit,
The men who have served you so long and so wellHi dee ay-ee ooo doo-dle oh
Oo do do do do do doo-dle ay yee
Doo-dle ay eeHe dee Ay-ee
Hi dee oh ooo
Hi dee ayee
Hi dee oh ooo
