Calaloo |
| Calaloo, Strange Calaloo |
| Mysterious curious roux |
| Try as you might to avoid the hoodoo |
| Sooner or later we’re all in the stew |
| From here in my kitchen |
| I watch the whole seen |
| Life on dis island 's |
| A unique cuisine |
| It simmers and bubbles |
| And looks quite routine |
| Till somebody spill all da beans |
| Calaloo, Strange Calaloo |
| Mysterious curious roux |
| Try as you might to avoid the hoodoo |
| Sooner or later we’re all in the stew |
| Night after night |
| On dat terrace out der |
| Plays a melodrama |
| Could equal Shakesphere |
| Dey may tell theirself |
| Dat somehow dey are not |
| Best take it from me |
| We’re all in the same pot |
| Calaloo, Strange Calaloo |
| Mysterious curious roux |
| Try as you might to avoid the hoodoo |
| Sooner or later we’re all in the stew |
| Bridge: |
| Hey Hey Sheila, Hey Hey Sheila |
| Hey Hey Sheila, what’s in dat calaloo |
| Hey Sheila tell us, Hey Sheila tell us |
| Hey Hey Sheila, What’s in that calaloo |
| We got Crab and pig tell |
| Squid ink and fish scale |
| Okra and dasheen leaves |
| Chitchat and chatter |
| Fill up the platter |
| With a garnish of pure make believe |
| Calaloo, Strange Calaloo |
| Mysterious and curious roux |
| Though some might think somehow they are not |
| Make no mistake we’re all in the same pot |
| Take it from me this is no Camelot |
