Jolly Mon Sing
Written by - Jimmy Buffett, Will Jennings & Michael Utley
From - Last Mango In Paris
There is a tale that the Island people tell
Don't care if it is true cause I love it so well
Jolly Mon sing for his supper every night 
The people fed him well 'cause he treated them so right 
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing 
Oh oh oh oh, make Orion ring 

And they wanted him to sing on the island near and far 
He always found his way by Orion lucky star 
He'd tell them of their joys, he'd tell them of their woes 
They loved to see him come, they'd hate to see him go 
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing 
Oh oh oh oh, make the music ring 

He was makin' his way home on a dark and stormy night 
When he heard a cry for help, he saw a flashin' light 
When he reached the other boat and offered them a hand 
They said, 'Give us all your cargo' as they took a pirate stand 
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing 
Oh oh oh oh, give 'em everything 

'Jolly Mon, it's over, sing your last song very well'
They tossed him in the ocean cause their hearts were made in Hell 
Came along a dolphin, he said, 'Jolly Mon hello! 
I've always loved your singing, climb aboard, don't let go'
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing 
Oh oh oh oh, make the oceans ring 

The night was filled with magic, they bid the sea goodbye 
They swam into the heavens, they stayed up in the sky 
And all the Island people when they wish upon a star 
See the Dolphin and the Jolly Mon who tell them where they are 
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing 
Oh oh oh oh, make the heavens ring 

Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing 
Oh oh oh oh, make the magic ring

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing
