The bachelor population of Trinidad
Say the situation is very bad
Something is happening to make the girlies swoon
Every time they hear this tune 

Come with me, my honey
There’s a moon aglow
Come with me, my honey
Come with Calypso Joe
Pretty little bunny
I will love you so
Come with me, my honey
My honey bunny
That’s the song of Calypso Joe

The bachelor population will never know
Why he should be such a big Romeo
But when they try to copy him the sound’s all wrong
It’s the way he sing his song

Come with me, my honey
There’s a moon aglow
Come with me, my honey
Come with Calypso Joe
Pretty little bunny
I will love you so
Come with me, my honey
My honey bunny
That’s the song of Calypso Joe.

(Musical Break)

Come with me, my honey
(Come with me, my honey)
There’s a moon aglow
Come with me, my honey
(Come with me, my honey)
Come with Calypso Joe
Pretty little bunny
(Pretty little bunny)
I will love you so
Come with me, my honey
My honey bunny
That’s the song of Calypso Joe.
