Bahama Mama

Once when I was on shore liberty\nOn the tropic little island of Bimini\nI go to bar where lights are bright;\nCalypso music everything all right\nBeautiful woman do a dance\nDo the Limbo, put me in a trance\nI say, «Man, what her name be?»\nHe say, «Bahama mama, and she wild and free.»\nLonely was I from many days at sea;\nI wanted this woman who was wild and free\nSay, Bahama mama, Limbo with me?\nShe work me over like Hurricane Shirley\nDrink much rum, get me in a fight\nSailor hit me on head, out go lights\nWhen I came to, guess what I see?\nBahama mama, and she kissing me\nBahama mama now tell me she love me;\nHer beauty and the rum make me feel dizzy\nFrom look on her face, I can see\nBahama Mama not belong to me\nBahama mama do a dance when\nShe do the Limbo, put me in a trance\nI lucky man, everyone would say;\nBahama mama claim lover today\nNever ever more will I go to sea;\nBahama mama and me will soon marry\nWe gonna do everything up right;\nBahama mama gonna love me day and night\nPretty soon, then, there’ll be three:\nBahama mama, little baby and me;\nI so happy, hard to b’lieve\nBahama mama now belong to me\nBahama mama do a dance when\nShe do the Limbo, put me in a trance\nI lucky man, everyone would say;\nBahama mama claim lover today
