There is a tale that the island people tell
Don't care if it is true 'cause I love it so well.
Jolly Mon sang for his supper every night

The people fed him well 'cause he treated them so right

Of Jolly Mon sing

Oh make Orion ring

And they wanted him to sing on the islands near and far

He always found his way by Orion the lucky star
He'd tell them of their joys, he'd tell them of their woes
They'd love to see him come and hate to see him go


Oh Jolly Mon sing
Oh make the music ring


He was making his way home on a dark and stormy night
When he heard a cry for help, he saw a flashing light

When he reached the other boat and offered him a hand
They said, "Give us all your cargo." as they took a pirate
stand


Oh Jolly Mon sing
Oh give them everything

"Jolly Mon we know you - 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 on board and don't let
go."


Oh Jolly Mon sing
Oh make the oceans ring


The night was filled with magic as 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 Jolly Mon sing
Oh make the heavens ring

Oh Jolly Mon sing
Oh make the magic ring
