There is a tale that the island people tell
|
Don't care if it is true 'cause I love it so well.
|
Jolly Mon sang for his supper every night
|
The people fed him well 'cause he treated them so right
|
|
Of Jolly Mon sing
|
Oh make Orion ring
|
|
And they wanted him to sing on the islands near and far
|
He always found his way by Orion the lucky star
|
He'd tell them of their joys, he'd tell them of their woes
|
They'd love to see him come and hate to see him go
|
|
Oh Jolly Mon sing
|
Oh make the music ring
|
|
He was making his way home on a dark and stormy night
|
When he heard a cry for help, he saw a flashing light
|
When he reached the other boat and offered him a hand
|
They said, "Give us all your cargo." as they took a pirate stand
|
|
Oh Jolly Mon sing
|
Oh give them everything
|
"Jolly Mon we know you - Sing your last song very well"
|
They tossed him in the ocean cause their hearts were made in hell
|
Came along a dolphin, he said, "Jolly Mon Hello"
|
"I've always loved your singing - climb on board and don't let go."
|
|
Oh Jolly Mon sing
|
Oh make the oceans ring
|
|
The night was filled with magic as they bid the sea goodbye
|
They swam into the heavens - they stayed up in the sky
|
And all the island people when they wish upon a star
|
See the dolphin and the Jolly Mon who tell them where they are
|
|
Oh Jolly Mon sing
|
Oh make the heavens ring
|
Oh Jolly Mon sing
|
Oh make the magic ring
|
