Chords for Carol Channing Calypso Pete 1961

Ready yet?
Look, we have so many exciting things on the show tonight, I may not get a chance to tell you later,
to see the Chevy show next week with Andy Williams.
He's reuniting with his brothers, and he's gonna have guests like Jonathan Winters,
and Goge Grant, and Claudine Lange.
So you be sure to tune in, will you?
Hey Carol, aren't you ready yet?
In a minute, Dinah.
_ _ _ Just _ _ _ _ _ as soon as I get out of these street clothes.
Okay, Carol.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Here. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Gee, and I thought Commander Shepard went up there alone.
_ Come on, Carol, you don't really run around in astronaut spacesuits, do you?
Oh no, Dinah, I'm just using it to inspire a new design for women's casual wear.
It's called the astronaut look.
Oh my, you'll sell a million of them.
Everybody is so excited about the astronauts.
You know, that flight of Commander Shepard's, I watched that on television, it was so thrilling.
And his flight brought us new scientific knowledge, and new technical knowledge, and new technology.
And he was a great example of technical performance, and the great achievement of controlled space flight.
But most of all, he was such a good sport to go.
_ Yes, I thought so. _ _ _ _ _
You're _ gonna be doing some traveling yourself, on the ground of course, aren't you?
That's right, Dinah.
I'll be opening my tour in Philadelphia with Showgirl, that's my one-woman show.
A one-woman, is that really a one-woman show?
Oh yes, Dinah, it's only 25 people.
_ That's the smallest group of people that's ever been connected with a one-woman show.
Well, you ought to know about it more than anyone, Dinah.
You've been doing a one-woman show for the past 10 years.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
One woman and producers, directors, choreographers, two stage managers, four guest stars, three pianists, four stand-ins, 50 technicians, 27 musicians, 16 singers and dancers, not to mention the man who gives me mwah lessons. _
Oh, I'd like to take mwah lessons too.
Oh, you don't have to, honey.
Not as long as you can play these.
Oh, Dinah.
[Ab] Isn't that nice of you to give it to me?
I'll do it.
It is nice of you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Cm] _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Bbm] _ _ [E] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] No, no, no.
[Bbm] He [Eb] didn't play maracas.
[Ab] No, no, no.
But [Gb] all [F] the girls would gather [Bb] round to hear [E] him go.
[Eb] _ _ _ I [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [F] made a [Bbm] very happy [Eb] home for him, and [Bbm] after [Eb] work we'd sit and [Ab] have a drink of gin.
There never [F] was a man who [Bbm] was as [E] good as Pete.
[Eb] [Ab] He played all night and never missed a beat.
He didn't play [Eb] the bongos.
No, no, no.
He didn't play maracas.
[Ab] No, no, [C] no.
But he [F] was very good [Bbm] at playing [E] fast or [Eb] slow.
[Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ North or [Db] south or [Eb] east or west.
Music [Ab] soothes the savage breast. _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ It's [Db] a law of [B] nature [Bbm] and I don't [Eb] know why, [Bb] but nearly [Eb] every man [Ab] has got a roving eye.
There was [F] a woman [Bb] living down [E] the street [Eb] who [Ab] set her cap to catch the eye of Pete.
She didn't want his [Bb] bongos.
[Eb] No, sirree.
[Bbm] She didn't [Eb] want maracas.
[Ab] _ No, sirree.
[Ebm] The thing [F] that she was after [Bbm] was his [Dbm] specialty.
_ [Eb] [B] A _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Bb] woman.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ Make a [Dbm] monkey [Ab] out of my_ _ _ _
[Db] _ [G] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I wait [B] in vain [Bbm] for [Eb] Calypso Pete [Bbm] until [Eb] one night I take a walk [Ab] along the street.
From [F] a certain woman's [Bbm] house there [E] comes to me [Eb] a sound of great _ familiarity.
_ [Ab] Could it be the bongos?
[Eb] No, no, wrong.
[Bbm] Could [Eb] it be maracas?
[Ab] Also wrong.
[Gb] To me [F] it was a version [Bbm] of love's old [E] sweet song.
[Eb] _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Stop the music!
_ [Ab] A man who too tight, [Bb] _ [Eb] not so bright.
_ Jealous [Ab] woman dynamite.
I _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ open [B] the door and [Bbm] then I, _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] to [Eb] my surprise, I [Ab] find it hidden spot.
_ Now [F] I'm alone and [Bb] yet it's nice [E] to know [Eb] _ Calypso Pete is playing down below.
[Ab] I never miss the [Eb] bongos.
No, no, no.
[Bbm] I never [Eb] miss maracas.
[Ab] No, no, no.
[Ebm] _ _ _
Sometimes [Bb] in the [F] evening _ [Bbm] when the lights _ [Bb] are _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] out I kind of miss Calypso Pete.
