Calaloo Letra

Chorus: Calaloo, Strange Calaloo Mysterious curious roux Try as you might to avoid the hoodoo Sooner or later we're all in the stew From here in my kitchen I watch the whole seen Life on dis island 's A unique cuisine It simmers and bubbles And looks quite routine Till somebody spill all da beans Chorus: Calaloo, Strange Calaloo Mysterious curious roux Try as you might to avoid the hoodoo Sooner or later we're all in the stew Night after night On dat terrace out der Plays a melodrama Could equal Shakesphere Dey may tell theirself Dat somehow dey are not Best take it from me, We're all in the same pot Chorus: Calaloo, Strange Calaloo Mysterious curious roux Try as you might to avoid the hoodoo Sooner or later we're all in the stew Bridge: Hey Hey Sheila, Hey Hey Sheila Hey Hey Sheila, what's in dat calaloo Hey Sheila tell us, Hey Sheila tell us Hey Hey Sheila, What's in that calaloo We got Crab and pig tell Squid ink and fish scale Okra and dasheen leaves Chitchat and chatter Fill up the platter With a garnish of pure make believe Chorus: Calaloo, Strange Calaloo Mysterious and curious roux Though some might think somehow they are not Make no mistake we're all in the same pot Take it from me this is no Camelot.
