There is a tale that the Island people tell |
|
Don't care if it is true 'cause I love it so well |
|
Jolly Mon sing for his supper every night |
|
The people fed him well 'cause he treated them so right |
|
Oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing |
|
Oh oh oh, make Orion ring |
|
And they wanted him to sing on the island 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, they'd hate to see him go |
|
Oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing |
|
Oh oh oh, make the music ring |
|
He was makin' his way home on a dark and stormy night |
|
When he heard a cry for help, he saw a flashin' light |
|
When he reached the other boat and offered them a hand |
|
They said, "Give us all your cargo", as the took a pirate stand |
|
Oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing |
|
Oh oh oh, give 'em everything |
|
"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 sing |
|
Oh oh oh, make the oceans ring |
|
The night was filled with magic, they bid the sea goodbye |
|
They 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 sing |
|
Oh oh oh, make the heavens ring |
|
Oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing |
|
Oh oh oh, make the magic ring |
|
Oh oh oh oh |
|
Oh oh oh oh |
|
Oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing |
