Got a tale for you all
Makes you jump, never makes you crawl
When it does, my job is done
Lots hotter than the southern sun
So hitch a ride, come downtown
What you've lost is what I've found
Tilt your brim to the side
Ladies get ready for a ride
Hey-ho, Calypso King
With the yellow suit and a pinky ring
Before you dance, before you sing
Hey-ho Calypso King
Well am I movin' too fast
With a face like this; I'm not sure to last
Pull the lever to her heart
Can't keep up well it's not my fault
Saying
Hey-ho, Calypso King
With the yellow suit and a pinky ring
Before you dance, before you sing
Hey-ho, Calypso King
Pull a feather from a hat
Cause you know I ain't finished yet
When I am, I'll start to sing
Calypso King
Pinch a penny 'gainst the wall
Just got time to take a ball
Cats and birds all got threads
Liquor is quicker than a hole in the head
So keep the motion, way past four
Throw those shoes to the floor
Who cares if your hair's a mess
Wipe the sweat off with your dress
Hey-ho, Calypso King
With his Swedish hips and a pinky ring
Before you dance, before you sing
Hey-ho, Calypso King
Hey-ho, Calypso King
With the yellow suit and a pinky ring
Before you dance, before you sing
Hey-ho, Calypso King
Take your bows to the Calypso King
