Ed's Redeeming Qualities - King Of Calypso lyrics

I'd like to be from Trinidad (You're not. You're not) I wish Lord Beginner was my dad (He isn't. He isn't) I wish I was from the land of the sun I'd like to be from the land of the sea But I'm not I'm from Ohio There is no cure for my condition (no cure. no cure) I wish I was instead of just wishing (no cure. no cure) I can't be Belafonte A calypso singer in a rock and roll body I'm trapped I'm from Ohio I can't be what I want to be And no operation's going to save me I was born in 1963 In Ohio I know I won't be the king of calypso I can barely sing as it is so You don't even have to say it I already know When I hear that old time calypso (deeeeey-oh) I wish I could sing like King Radio, oh There is no cure for my condition They can't do that operation On a white guy From Ohio I can't be what I want to be And no operation's going to save me I was born in 1963 In Ohio I know I won't be the king of calypso I can barely sing as it is so You don't even have to say it I already know Maybe you could try to fake it? Ok, play dat ting, mon! Sorry Dan, you'll never make it I know, I know.. `Cause calypso singers used to boast But all I sing about is toast White bread I'm from Ohio I can't be what I want to be And no operation's going to save me I was born in 1963 In Ohio I know I won't be the king of calypso I can barely sing as it is so You don't even have to tell me I already know Hubba hubba hubba! Up de mountain! Around de corner?
