Calypso Hippo Lyrics

Daylight is here
'specially cuz we got the money to spend
We always come here
You know the type, rich American men

And we say
What girl could you sell to me
What girl could you sell to me
I can't wait to see

And we say
What girl could you sell to me
What girl could you sell to me
I can't wait to see

But in the meantime
Let's dance to calypso
Is that what this music is
Yeah I got cash on my hippo
To pay the police biz

It's a beautiful world
And we've got so many places to hide
You know today I'm in Guam
And yet tomorrow I could be in Maili

Well I'll say
What boy could you sell to me
What boy could you sell to me
I can't wait to see

Well I'll say
What boy could you sell to me
What boy could you sell to me
I can't wait to see

But in the meantime
Yeah let's just dance to calypso
Is that what this music is
Yeah I got cash on my hippo
To pay the police biz
Yeah let's just dance to calypso
I'm sure that's what this music is
Yeah I am one hungry hippo
Full all of those kids

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
