Lena

(アルバム： Calypso Carnival - 1971)

One day I went on a pleasure cruise
Sailing 'cross the ocean it was beautiful
All at once something caught my eye
It was Lena passing by

Right then and there I knew
This was the girl for me
As we looked at each other
She smiled and I asked her name

As she spoke I could tell
I would never be quite the same
I said will you come go with me
To a calypso jamboree

And dance the calypso, rock and roll a go-go
Lena don't tell me no
And dance the calypso, rock and roll a go-go
Lena don't tell me no

As we stood there together
Gazing at the open sea
I couldn't help telling her
What she meant to a guy like me

With such beauty and with such class
For I knew that I must act fast
I had to find a way to make Lena go with me
I could see she was anxious to go but she hesitate
She was afraid to agree with a stranger for a date

As the sun slowly slipped away
I was happy to hear her say
She would dance the calypso

Rock and roll a go-go
Lena I'm happy so
And dance the Calypso
Rock and roll a go-go
Lena I'm happy so

Carnival is tomorrow we're gonna have a ball
I know that Lena will be the prettiest girl of all
All the fellows will envy me
They'll be popping their eyes to see

When we dance together
We will want nowhither
They will want to get her
I will tell them never

Dancing the calypso
Rock and roll a go-go
Lena I love you so
