[Verse 1]
From the crow's nest high
I can spy the little islands
Strewn like stones in the salty sea
Pour the rum-pum-pum
Hearts are beating like the drum
The madness taking me (Hoo!)

[Chorus]
One day, should port be made
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
This day, we shan't delay
On our way, our dear Calypso

[Verse 2]
From the starboard bow
I can spy a city ruin
Taken siege by a pirate's lance
Plundered gold
That was taken long ago
Afore we had our chance (Dah!)

[Chorus]
One day, should port be made
I'll miss hеr, how her waves throw
This day, we shan't dеlay
On our way, our dear Calypso
[Verse 3]
From the decks below
I can spy out through the porthole
Kingly ships of a naval fleet
While we schemed our raid
Our plan had been belayed
For they'd made their retreat (Dang it!)

[Chorus]
One day, should port be made
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
This day, we shan't delay
On our way, our dear Calypso

[Verse 4]
From the port side shroud
I can spy under the moonlight
Dreams of fortune awaiting me
Gold and rum
All there is under the sun
But fate would disagree (Hey!)

[Chorus]
Someday, if port be made
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
This day, we shan't delay
On our way, our dear Calypso
[Bridge]
At the captain's wheel
He can spy out the horizon
"Hands-on deck! Tally-ho!" he cries
"Silver! Gold! Plenty coffers to behold before your very eyes!" (Oh!)

[Chorus]
One day, should port be made
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
This day, we shan't delay
On our way, our dear Calypso
