Vaughn Monroe – Calypso Joe lyrics

AN UNUSUAL ORCHESTRA BACK UP ARRANGEMENT. WHEN MR. MONROE SINGS THE TEMPO IS A LATIN BEAT. IN BETWEEN THE ORCHESTRA JAZZES IT UP.

THE BACH'LOR POPULATION OF TRINIDAD,
SAY THE SITUATION IS VERY BAD.
SOMETHING IS HAPPENING TO MAKE THE GIRLS SWOON,
EVERYTIME THEY HEAR THIS TUNE.

COME WITH ME MY HONEY,
THERE'S A FULL MOON AGLOW.
COME WITH ME MY HONEY
COME, WITH CALYPSO JOE.
A PRETTY BUNNY,
I WILL LOVE YOU SO.
COME WITH ME, MY HONEY,
MY HONEY BUNNY.
THAT'S THE SONG OF CALYPSO JOE.

ORCHESTRA SWINGS WITH A TRUMPET SOLO.

BACH'LOR POPULATION CAN'T UNDERSTAND,
WHY HE SHOULD BE SO MUCH A POPULAR MAN.
WHEN HE SINGS, COME WITH ME HONEY,
IT SOUNDS WRONG
IT S THE SINGER, NOT THE SONG.
COME WITH ME MY HONEY
THERE'S A MOON ALL AGLOW.
COME WITH ME MY HONEY,
COME, WITH CALYPSO JOE.
MY PRETTY BUNNY,
I WILL LOVE YOU SO.
COME WITH ME MY HONEY,
MY HONEY BUNNY.
THAT'S THE SONG OF CALYPSO JOE.

ORCHESTRA SWINGS WITH A SAX SOLO RIFF
THEN BACK TO A TROPICAL TEMPO BEAT.

THE POPULATION OF THE MEN,
THEY ALL SAY,
WE MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TODAY.
WE FIND THE GIRLS HAVE BELIEVED
THIS BACH'LOR,
THAT HE'LL ONLY SING TO HER.

COME AND BE MY HONEY,
THERE'S A MOON ALL AGLOW.
COME WITH ME, MY HONEY,
COME WITH CALYPSO JOE.
A PRETTY BUNNY,
I WILL LOVE YOU SO.
COME WITH ME MY HONEY
MY HONEY BUNNY,
THAT'S THE SONG,
OF CALYPSO JOE.

ORCHESTRA SWINGS SOME.THEN BACK TO A
LATIN BEAT AS MR MONROE FINISHES WITH;

CALYPSO, CALYPSO JOE.
