"Jolly Mon Sing" lyrics

"Jolly Mon Sing"

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 they took a pirate stand

Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing
Oh oh oh oh, give them everything

"Jolly Mon, it's over, sing your last song very well"
They tossed him in the ocean, 'cause 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
