— This song is written by the legendary Nat King Cole. It's a pure calypsonian style track, that describes with humor and ironie hard time life.

It brings the calypsonian nostalgia, talking about women who like Calypso Rose emigrated to New-York for a better life and find a hard reality inside the Big Apple.

Wah-oh, wah-oh

Wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh

Wah-oh, wah-oh

Wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh



Sittin' by de ocean

The wave she feel so sad

Sittin' by de ocean

The wave she feel so sad

You ain't got de money

To get you back to Trinidad

Fine calypso woman

She cook him shrimp and rice

Fine calypso woman

She cook him shrimp and rice

Those yankee hot dogs

Don't treat the stomach very nice



In Trinidad, a dollar buy

Papaya juice, banana pie

Six coconut, a female goat

And plenty fish to full de boat

A bushel bread, a bottle of wine

And all de town, she come to dine

But there is bad, a dollar buy

A cup of coffee, ham on rye

Woo



Me throat she sick from necktie

Me feet she hurt from shoes

His pocket full of empty

He's got the Calypso blues

These yankee girl give him a scare

Is black de roots, and blonde de hair

Her eyelash false, her face is paint

And perhaps not de girl she ain't

She jitterbug when she should waltz

I even think her name was false

Calypso girl is good a lot

Is what you see, is what you got

So sittin' at de ocean

Your heart, she feel so sad

You ain't got de money

To get you back to Trinidad

Sittin' by de ocean

Your heart, she feel so sad

Because you ain't got no money

To take get you back to Trinidad



Wah-oh, wah-oh

Wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh

Wah-oh, wah-oh

Wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh

Wah-oh, wah-oh

Wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh

Woo

Wah-oh, wah-oh

Wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh
