To sail on a dream, on a crystal blue ocean,
C7 C7 C C Dm Dm
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm,
C C C6 C6
To work in the service of life and the living,
C7 C7 C C Dm Dm
In search of the answers to questions unknown --
C C C6 C6
To be part of the movement and part of the growing,
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C C Gm7 Gm7
Part of the beginning to understand --


F F C C
Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
F F C C G G C C
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell!
F F C C
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
F F C C G7 G7 C C
The men who have served you so long and so well


G G F F C C
Hi - dee-- ay -- ee -- ooo

Do-dle-oh-ooo do do do do do do-dle ay-ee

Do-dle-ay-ee


C C C7 C7
Like the dolphins to guide you, you bring us beside you
C7 C7 C C Dm Dm
To light up the darkness and show us the way
C C C6 C6
For though we are strangers in your silent world,
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C C Dm Dm
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
C C C6 C6
To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 C C Gm7 Gm7
Joyful and loving and letting it be

[chorus]
