Lena

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 poppin' 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
