MERRYMEN - SOUL CALYPSO

Add the little bass
That will set the pass
Add the little guitar strummer strength to the rhythm
Take a little drum
Roll its beat for soul
Oy, oy, oy, this is soul calypso!

Let me hear the bass
Let me hear the guitar
Let me hear the drum

Now we got it going
Add the little steel
Listen to the rhythm
And you're bound to feel
It's a recipe that will make you go
Oy, oy, oy, this is soul calypso!

This is carnaval, this is bachanal
All colours of the class
Jump on plane mass
John, Lizzy and Joe
Eeny, Meenie, Miny and Moe
Oy, oy, oy, do the soul calypso
Oh, man!

Hee-ha!
Jump in!
Hee
Stroll, stroll!

Now we got it going
Add the little steel
Listen to the rhythm
And you're bound to feel
It's a recipe that will make you go
Oy, oy, oy, sweet soul calypso!

Hee-ha!
Down town!
Jump in!
Full strength
Hee-high!

Let me hear the bass
Let me hear the guitar roll
Let me hear the drum, roll it!
Oh, soul, soul
Hee-ha!
