The Calypsonians were all gathered together
Singin' such a mournful tune
I don't know if it was in the summer time
It could be the month of May or June

Believe me baby, now I love you the best
When I'm by myself I poke out me chest
Over lovin', over, over, over, over lovin' you

I do believe to my soul
I'm going to take across the deep blue sea
Like my friend Carlos on the Hokule'a down to old Fiji

I love you baby, now you love me deepest
When I'm by myself I poke out me chest
Oh, I'm over, can't get over lovin' you

I said, love me baby, baby love me, love me
Love me, love me through and through
Love me in the sunshine, darling and from moon to moon

Believe me baby, now I love you the best
When I'm by myself I poke out me chest
Over lovin', over, over lovin' you

If you love me like you say you love me
Love me like you say you do
Love me baby, in the sunshine, love me from moon to moon

Believe me baby, now I love you the best
When I'm by myself I poke out me chest
Over, over, over lovin' you

Well, the blues chased up a rabbit
Rabbit run a quarter mile
That poor little furry bunny scared like a baby child

Believe me baby, now you love me the best
When I'm by myself I poke out me chest
Over lovin', lovin' over, lovin' over you

The Calypsonians were all gathered together
Playin' such a mournful tune
I don't know if it was in the summer time
Maybe in the May or June

Believe me baby, now I love you the best
When I'm by myself I poke out me chest
Over lovin', lovin' lovin', lovin', lovin', baby, lovin' you

Keep it goin' round and round, brother
Soft now
