Calypso Boogaloo

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I went to a dance in New York City Last week Saturday night With a big fat mama from Mississippi I rarely was uptight The band start swinging with the boogaloo She said, "Sparrow, please I'm going to teach this dance to you Take me back to the West Indies" And she tell me... [Chorus] "You got to learn to do the Calypso Boogaloo You got to learn to do the Calypso Boogaloo" Take it back to the West Indes Underneath the coconut trees (Sock it to me baby. Ahh Come on, come on, mama Do the thing now) [Verse 2] The Mississippi Mama start to working up more She sweat is the more she yell Three policemen try but couldn't make she stop So they say she crazy like hell Then she shoe heel break and she quick fall down Everybody started to laugh Because she started draggin' on the ground And she brassiere bust up in half 'Til she bawlin' [Chorus] "You got to learn to do the Calypso Boogaloo You got to learn to do the Calypso Boogaloo" Take it back to the West Indes Underneath the coconut trees (C'mon mama. Uh-huh. Whoa! Whoa!) [Verse 3] As long as I live I will never, never Never, never, never forget The big fat Mississippi Mama At the Rockland Palace Fete Man, I felt so good I am telling you When the steel band started to fight Old Harris put me in a taxi And then I missed that mama that night 'Til she bawlin'... [Chorus] "You got to learn to do the Calypso Boogaloo You got to learn to do the Calypso Boogaloo" Take it back to the West Indes Underneath the coconut trees
