ISLAND CALYPSO
From the film "Zombies On Broadway" (1945)
(Lancelot Pinard)

Sir Lancelot (Film Soundtrack) - 1945



De Calypso singer is here to welcome you
Because he knows it's de t'ing to do

De visitors when dey look around
Are happy with the beauty of dis island town

De coconut palm and de banana tree
And de pretty girls are what dey see

And de visitors are happy all de while
Because it's a dream of a tropical isle

A joy supreme!
Dis is de island of golden dreams!

But de visitors would not so happy be
If dey could see what's behind the tree

If dey could see de eyes which are watching dem
Dey would leave this island of evil men

But if dey wait 'til de full moon comes
De shine on the hands of the voodoo drums

De chance to leave may come too late
And blood on the ground will mark their fate

Ah, woe, too late!
Blood on the ground will mark their fate!
