Lyrics
Calypso Man I was walking down the beach one day When I heard a groovy rhythm comin' my way Got a little bit closer Music's drawing me in Beat is so hypmotizing You just have to give in I saw a man on stage Inviting everyone in How could anyone refuse Such a glorious grin He played the Mambo, the Cha-Cha, Merengue too Finished off with Belefonte's song that everyone knew He's the Calypso man, the Calypso man He's the Calypso man, the Calypso man No one knows his name Or where he comes from He's been around for years The music keeps him young And the folks are dancing They're crowding the floor It's a happenning party And they're shouting for more He played the Mambo, the Cha-Cha, Merengue too Finished off with Belefonte's song that everyone knew He's the Calypso man, the Calypso man He's the Calypso man, the Calypso man Words : Michel Goudreau - SOCAN Music : Michel Goudreau-Jonathan Boudreau-Jean-Francois Begin - SOCAN ©Copyright 2011
