'There are times in this crazy world when I truly hope that | |
somewhere somebody is living this made up life.' | |
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 oh Jolly Mon sing | |
Oh 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 oh, Jolly Mon sing | |
Oh 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 oh, Jolly Mon sing | |
Oh oh oh oh, give 'em everything | |
'Jolly Mon it's over sing your last song very well' | |
They tossed him in the ocean 'ause 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 oh, Jolly Mon sing | |
Oh 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 oh, Jolly Mon sing | |
Oh oh oh oh, make the heavens ring | |
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing | |
Oh oh oh oh, make the magic ring! | |
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh | |
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh | |
Oh oh oh oh Jolly Mon sing | |
