Jolly Mon Sing

By: Jimmy Buffett, Will Jennings, Michael Utley

1985

"There are times in this crazy world when I truly hope that
5
somewhere somebody is living this made up life."
6
There is a tale that the Island people tell
7
Don't care if it is true 'cause I love it so well
8
Jolly Mon sing for his supper every night
9
The people fed him well 'cause he treated them so right
10
Oh oh oh oh Jolly Mon sing
11
Oh oh oh oh make Orion ring
12
And they wanted him to sing on the island near and far
13
He always found his way by Orion lucky star
14
He'd tell them of their joys, he'd tell them of their woes
15
They loved to see him come, they'd hate to see him go
16
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing
17
Oh oh oh oh, make the music ring
18
He was makin' his way home on a dark and stormy night
19
When he heard a cry for help, he saw a flashin' light
20
When he reached the other boat and offered them a hand
21
They said, "Give us all your cargo" as the took a pirate stand
22
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing
23
Oh oh oh oh, give 'em everything
24
"Jolly Mon it's over sing your last song very well"
25
They tossed him in the ocean 'ause their hearts were made in Hell
26
Came along a dolphin, he said, "Jolly Mon hello!
27
I've always loved your singing, climb aboard, don't let go."
28
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing
29
Oh oh oh oh, make the oceans ring
30
The night was filled with magic, they bid the sea goodbye
31
They swam into the heavens, they stayed up in the sky
32
And all the Island people when they wish upon a star
33
See the Dolphin and the Jolly Mon who tell them where they are
34
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing
35
Oh oh oh oh, make the heavens ring
36
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing
37
Oh oh oh oh, make the magic ring!
38
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
39
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
40
Oh oh oh oh Jolly Mon sing
