There is a tale that the island 
people tell

Don't know if it is true but I love

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

    CHORUS

He was makin' his way home on a dark
 and stormy night
When he heard a cry for help and he 
saw the passing light
When he reached the other boat, 
offered them a hand
They said give us all your cargo as 
they took a pirate
 stand

    CHORUS

Jolly Mon it's over 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 singin' climb
 on board,
 don't let go

    CHORUS

  INSTRUMENTAL

The night was filled with magic, 
they bid the sea goodbye
They swam into the heavens and 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
