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 |
