Verse:
D
There is a tale that the Island people tell

Don't care if it is true 'cause I love it so well
D
Jolly Mon sing for his supper every night

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

D
And they wanted him to sing on the island near and far
                           A           D
He always found his way by Orion lucky star
D
He'd tell them of their joys, he'd tell them of their woes
D                                  A               D

He was makin' his way home on a dark and stormy night
D                                A              D
When he heard a cry for help, he saw a flashin' light
D
When he reached the other boat and offered them a hand
                                           A             D

They tossed him in the ocean 'ause their hearts were made in Hell

Came along a dolphin, he said, "Jolly Mon hello!
D                                     A                 D

The night was filled with magic, they bid the sea goodbye
D                                A                D
They swam into the heavens, they stayed up in the sky
D
And all the Island people when they wish upon a star
D                                     A                    D
