There is a tale that the Island people tell
Don't know if it is true, but I love it so well
Jolly Mon sings for his supper every night
The people fed him well 'cause he treated them so right
Oh, oh, oh (Jolly Mon)
Jolly Mon sing
Oh, oh, oh (Jolly Mon)
Make Orion ring
Well they always liked to go to the islands near and far
He always found his way by Orion lucky star
He'd tell them of their joys, he'd tell them of their woes
They loved to see him come and they'd hate to see him go
Oh, oh, oh (Jolly Mon)
Jolly Mon sing
Oh, oh, oh (Jolly Mon)
Make the magic ring
ย
He was making his way home on a dark and stormy night
When he heard a cry for help and he saw a flashing light
When he reached the other boat, and offered them a hand
They said, "Give us all your cargo", as they took a pirate stand
Oh, oh, oh (Jolly Mon)
Jolly Mon sing
Oh, oh, oh (Jolly Mon)
Give 'em everything
ย
Jolly Mon, it's over, sing your last song very well
They tossed him in the ocean 'cause their hearts were made in Hell
Came along a dolphin, he said, "Jolly Mon, hello"
"I've always loved your singing, climb aboard, don't let go"
Oh, oh, oh (Jolly Mon)
Jolly Mon sing
Oh, oh, oh (Jolly Mon)
Give 'em everything
ย
The night was filled with magic, they bid the sea goodbye
Swam into the heavens, they stayed up in the sky
And all the Island people when they wish upon a star
See the Dolphin and the Jolly Mon who tell them where they are
Oh, oh, oh (Jolly Mon)
Jolly Mon sing
Oh, oh, oh (Jolly Mon)
Give 'em everything
Oh, oh, oh (Jolly Mon)
Jolly Mon sing
Oh, oh, oh (Jolly Mon)
Make the magic ring
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Jolly Mon sing
ย
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Jolly Mon sing
ย
"Goodbye, Jolly Mon"
ย
"This is scariest song of the evening for some people"
ย
"Whoo-oo-oo-oo"
ย
"Especially for any of you people who came here this evening, left somebody at your house to watch after your things"
ย
"People with names like ... Snake, Johhny D., Everlasting Moonie"
ย
"And the last thing they said to you was 'Don't worry about a thing ... we'll treat it like our own'"
"This, could happen, to you"
ย
"In days of old, when knights were bold, and journeyed from their castles"
"Trusty men were left behind, knights needed not the hassles"
"They helped themselves to pig and peach, and drank from King's own chalice"
"Oh, it was a stirring sight these, gypsies in the palace"
ย
"And as I told my friend, Zachary Richard, when you leave home, some things never change"
