To sail on a dream, on a crystal blue ocean,
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm,
To work in the service of life and the living,
In search of the answers to questions unknown --
To be part of the movement and part of the growing,
Part of the beginning to understand --
Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell!
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well
Hi - dee-- ay -- ee -- ooo
Do-dle-oh-ooo do do do do do do-dle ay-ee
(add ) (add )
Do-dle-ay-ee
Like the dolphins to guide you, you bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world,
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell
Joyful and loving and letting it be
