Bahama Mama

歌詞

Once when I was on shore liberty, On the tropic little island of Bimini I go to bar where lights are bright; Calypso music everything all right. Beautiful woman do a dance, Do the Limbo, put me in a trance. I say, "Man, what her name be?" He say, "Bahama mama, and she wild and free." Lonely was I from many days at sea; I wanted this woman who was wild and free. Say, Bahama mama, Limbo with me? She work me over like Hurricane Shirley. Drink much rum, get me in a fight, Sailor hit me on head, out go lights. When I came to, guess what I see? Bahama mama, and she kissing me. Bahama mama now tell me she love me; Her beauty and the rum make me feel dizzy. From look on her face, I can see Bahama Mama not belong to me. Bahama mama do a dance when She do the Limbo, put me in a trance. I lucky man, everyone would say; Bahama mama claim lover today. Never ever more will I go to sea; Bahama mama and me will soon marry. We gonna do everything up right; Bahama mama gonna love me day and night Pretty soon, then, there'll be three: Bahama mama, little baby and me; I so happy, hard to b'lieve Bahama mama now belong to me. Bahama mama do a dance when She do the Limbo, put me in a trance. I lucky man, everyone would say; Bahama mama claim lover today.
