Cream in de Coffee

Put de cream in de coffee,

and swirl it all around.

Make you morning get up,

and go to sunny nook found.

Put de cream in de coffee,

listen to de birdies sing.

de morning, never be brighter,

den when de birdies do dey thing.

Savor in de sunshine,

let de cool breeze cool cup.

It's off to work we go,

won't eat until we sup.

Put de cream in de coffee,

and swirl it all around.

Make you morning get up,

and go to sunny nook found.

We launch de boats a rowing,

into de surf crashing ‘round,

with all our might we heave and ho,

till boat and body calm found.

Finally, on de sea of green,

we raise our sail white, clean.

Throw out our nets to fate,

harvest what de nets glean.

Put de cream in de coffee,

and swirl it all around.

Make you morning get up,

and go to sunny nook found.

Sometimes we be rich,

sometimes we be poor.

But that's de fate of fishing,

de ocean, she keep score.

And den we climb de coconut tree,

so de wife can make de supper,

be careful you kids down dere,

You noggin be split like de cracker!

Put de cream in de coffee,

and swirl it all around.

Make you morning get up,

and go to sunny nook found.
