Well, I did not wanna do it...but the devil made me! :D
So that everyone understands how far double-entendre Calypso really did go, here are two more Mento examples that really stick out. In fact, it is so impossible to not get their drift, I must really warn the faint-hearted and the sexually tasteful among the members to refrain from clicking on these links!:

(Though technically Mento music, I am going with the popular notion of the day:
"During this time, Trinidadian calypso was the Caribbean’s top musical export, and the term "Calypso" was generically applied to Jamaican mento as well. Far more often than it was called by its proper name, mento was called "calypso","kalypso" or "mento calypso".")
