Jimmy Buffett - Calaloo lyrics

[Jimmy Buffett - Calaloo lyrics]

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

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
