First off it's spelled "Calypso". The info that follows was taken from a book called Folk Songs of the Caribbean. The title of the song is "Gin and Cocoanut Water" words and music by Wilmoth Houdini, described as the "grandfather of modern Calypso". Copyright 1946. I'm too lazy to write out all the lyrics, but if it's super important, let me know.
