   Em                             B                Em
The class is on a school trip, the journey’s taking long
    Am       Em                Am                 B
It’s time for refreshments, but something has gone wrong!
   Em              Am                 Em
The teacher’s got a cardboard box with drinks in
  Am      Bb            B7
Is that what I think it is??

[Chorus]

Em
Calypso, Calypso
Am
Get that filthy drink away from me
B7
Calypso, Calypso
                 Em
Water, sugar and E163

Calypso, Calypso
Am
Poison in a carton, child abuse
B7
Calypso, Calypso
                Em      Am   Em
Curiously orange plastic juice

[Verse 2]

     Em                B                      Em
The cup is corrugated, the straw is red and thin
    Am                                     B
But which is the sharp end so I can put it in?
   Em                   Am              Em
I guess the first taste isn’t quite so bad
       Am    Bb          B7
But plastic waits at the end

[Chorus]

Em
Calypso, Calypso
Am
Get that filthy drink away from me
B7
Calypso, Calypso
                 Em
Water, sugar and E163

Calypso, Calypso
Am
Poison in a carton, child abuse
B7
Calypso, Calypso
                Em      Am   Em
Curiously orange plastic juice
Fm
Calypso, Calypso
A#m
Made in Hemel Hempstead, did you know?
C7
Calypso, Calypso
                         Fm
Not to be confused with “Calippo”

Calypso, Calypso
A#m
Shouldn’t be allowed in schools today
C7
Calypso, Calypso
                                                Fm
Come to think of it, do they still even make it anyway?
