Bahama Mama lyrics

Once when I was on Shore Liberty
On the tropic little island of Bimini
I go to bar where lights are bright
Calypso music everything all right

Beautiful woman do a dance
Do the limbo, put me in a trance
I say, "Man, what her name be?"
He say, "Bahama mama and she wild and free"

Lonely was I from many days at sea
I wanted this woman who was wild and free
Say, Bahama mama, limbo with me?
She work me over like Hurricane Shirley

Drink much rum, get me in a fight
Sailor hit me on head, out go lights
When I came to, guess what I see?
Bahama mama and she kissing me

Bahama mama now tell me she love me
Her beauty and the rum make me feel dizzy
From look on her face, I can see
Bahama Mama not belong to me

Bahama mama do a dance when
She do the limbo, put me in a trance
I lucky man, everyone would say
Bahama mama claim lover today

Never ever more will I go to sea
Bahama mama and me will soon marry
We gonna do everything up right
Bahama mama gonna love me day and night

Pretty soon then, there'll be three
Bahama mama, little baby and me
I so happy, hard to believe
Bahama mama now belong to me

Bahama
