Nat King Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was a musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death. more »

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo, 
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay... 
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo, 
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...

Sittin' by de ocean 
Me heart, she feel so sad
Sittin' by de ocean 
Me heart, she feel so sad... 
Don't got de money 
To take me back to Trinidad 

Fine calypso woman
She cook me shrimp and rice
Fine calypso woman 
She cook me shrimp and rice... 
Dese yankee hot dogs 
Don't treat me stomach very nice

In Trinidad, one dollar buy 
Papaya juice, banana pie
Six coconut, one female goat 
An' plenty fish to fill de boat
One bushel bread, one barrel wine
An' all de town, she come to dine

But here is bad, one dollar buy 
Cup of coffee, ham on rye
Me throat she sick from necktie
Me feet hurt from shoes 
Me pocket full of empty
I got Calypso blues

Dese yankee girl give me big scare
Is black de root, is blonde de hair 
Her eyelash false, her face is paint
And pads are where de girl she ain't! 

She jitterbug when she should waltz 
I even think her name is false 
But calypso girl is good a lot
Is what you see, is what she got

Sittin' by de ocean 
Me heart, she feel so sad
Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad... 
Don't got de money 
To take me back to Trinidad

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo, 
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay... 
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo, 
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
