Billy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though he's beaded in sweat he hasn't lost his style
Ali don't you go downtown
You gave away another round for free
Me
I'm just another face at Zanzibar
But the waitress always serves a secret smile
She's gonna pull the curtains down for me
For me
I've got the old man's car
I've got a jazz guitar
I've got a tab at Zanzibar
Tonight that's where I'll be
He knows he's such a credit to the game
But the Yankees grab the headlines every time
Melodrama's so much fun
In black and white for everyone to see
Me
I'm trying just to get to second base
And I'd steal it if she only gave the sign
She's gonna give the go ahead
The inning isn't over yet for me
Tell the waitress I'll come back to Zanzibar
I'll be hiding in the darkness with my beer.
She's waiting out in Shantytown
She's gonna pull the curtains down for me
For me
The lyrics to Billy Ocean's Calypso Crazy are infused with a sense of longing and wanderlust. The song's narrator is captivated by the energy of Ali, a dancer who is the star of the show. The audience is entranced by his performance, but Ali maintains his cool, never missing a beat. The singer is struck by Ali's effortless charm, wishing he had the same charisma.
The song highlights the contrast between the high-class lifestyle of the Zanzibar bar patrons and the poverty of Shantytown, where the singer's love interest resides. The waitress at Zanzibar is alluring, and she always serves him with a coy smile. However, the singer is drawn to the danger and excitement of Shantytown, where he can forget all his troubles and be with the woman he desires.
The lyrics describe the struggles of the singer to have a chance with the love of his life. He is captivated by her and is willing to go to great lengths to be with her. The mood of the song is set by a mellow, reggae-infused rhythm that captures the laidback energy of the Caribbean. The song is about having big dreams and taking bold risks to achieve them, regardless of the obstacles that stand in the way.

@lordofvomit
[Verse One]
Time is not a one-way street
Opportunity's not a window
Traveling, it don't take your feet
I'm sick and tired, let the wind blow
Don't know what is all the rage
I'm tired of Nietzche and Plato
We're just not on the same page
I don't really care what they know
Just what I find about myself
[Pre-Chorus]
And I put them on the shelf and I pour myself a beer
No philosophising going on here
And I'm hanging low just like the ocean
It's been so long I've been forgotten
There's no philosophising going on here
HEY!
[Chorus] X2
It's time to get away
Time for a holiday
Put your books up on the shelf and
Don't worry, don't worry anymore
[Verse 2]
Empty mind and empty breath
Did you know what you were reading?
Turn the page and I see you on
The other side of the street you're walking down
Never thought that you were bleeding
[Pre-Chorus]
And I put them on the shelf and I pour myself a beer
No philosophising going on here
And I'm hanging low just like the ocean
It's been so long I've been forgotten
There's no philosophising going on here
HEY!
[Chorus] X2
It's time to get away
Time for a holiday
Put your books up on the shelf and
Don't worry, don't worry anymore
[Bridge]
Empty lines, and the moon's still on the street
And the smell that's falling from your hair
And it's gathering below my feet
Light the moon, Light the moon
Light the moon, Light the moon
And you know that sultry tune is in the air
And your sex is everywhere
And the parents-gone
The kids are whacked and the sh*t is on the street
We never knew what we were doing
And we're out of gas, the house broke down and
sh*t! It's on the wrong side of the town
We never knew what we were doing!
[Chorus] X2
It's time to get away
Time for a holiday
Put your books up on the shelf and
Don't worry, don't worry anymore
