'There are times in this crazy world when I truly hope that |
| [00:13.95] |
somewhere somebody is living this made up life.' |
| [00:15.09] |
There is a tale that the Island people tell |
| [00:16.68] |
Don't care if it is true 'cause I love it so well |
| [00:20.37] |
Jolly Mon sing for his supper every night |
| [00:23.40] |
The people fed him well 'cause he treated them so right |
| [00:26.97] |
Oh oh oh oh Jolly Mon sing |
| [00:30.84] |
Oh oh oh oh make Orion ring |
| [00:40.11] |
And they wanted him to sing on the island near and far |
| [00:43.38] |
He always found his way by Orion lucky star |
| [00:46.74] |
He'd tell them of their joys, he'd tell them of their woes |
| [00:50.04] |
They loved to see him come, they'd hate to see him go |
| [00:53.82] |
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing |
| [00:57.39] |
Oh oh oh oh, make the music ring |
| [01:06.39] |
He was makin' his way home on a dark and stormy night |
| [01:09.75] |
When he heard a cry for help, he saw a flashin' light |
| [01:12.93] |
When he reached the other boat and offered them a hand |
| [01:16.14] |
They said, 'Give us all your cargo' as the took a pirate stand |
| [01:20.13] |
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing |
| [01:23.58] |
Oh oh oh oh, give 'em everything |
| [01:30.21] |
'Jolly Mon it's over sing your last song very well' |
| [01:35.88] |
They tossed him in the ocean 'ause their hearts were made in Hell |
| [01:39.21] |
Came along a dolphin, he said, 'Jolly Mon hello! |
| [01:42.42] |
I've always loved your singing, climb aboard, don't let go.' |
| [01:47.49] |
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing |
| [01:49.53] |
Oh oh oh oh, make the oceans ring |
| [02:08.28] |
The night was filled with magic, they bid the sea goodbye |
| [02:11.55] |
They swam into the heavens, they stayed up in the sky |
| [02:14.85] |
And all the Island people when they wish upon a star |
| [02:18.00] |
See the Dolphin and the Jolly Mon who tell them where they are |
| [02:22.47] |
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing |
| [02:25.50] |
Oh oh oh oh, make the heavens ring |
| [02:31.80] |
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing |
| [02:38.25] |
Oh oh oh oh, make the magic ring! |
| [02:44.55] |
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh |
| [02:45.45] |
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh |
| [02:51.24] |
Oh oh oh oh Jolly Mon sing |
| [02:55.62] |
