Once upon a time deep down in the ocean
Lived a creature named Calypso Clam
He liked to sing and he liked to dance
But most of all they say he liked to jam
If someone was havin’ a party
If he was there you didn’t need no band
Everyone was happy to dance and sing
To the rhythms of Calypso Clam

Once upon a time deep down in the ocean
Lived a creature named Calypso Clam
He liked to sing and he liked to dance
But most of all they say he liked to jam
Soon the news spread all through the ocean
From miles around all the fishies swam
No other creature in all of the ocean
Kept a beat like Calypso Clam

Once upon a time deep down in the ocean
Lived a creature named Calypso Clam
He liked to sing and he liked to dance
But most of all they say he liked to jam
Soon he was famous all through the world
From the coast of Spain to the sea of Japan
Everyone wanted to dance and sing
To the rhythms of Calypso Clam

That’s how it started deep down in the ocean
And soon it spread from the sea to the land
And now the whole world is dancing and singing
To the rhythms of Calypso Clam
Listen to the rhythms of Calypso Clam
Listen to the rhythms of Calypso Clam
