Evening star, if you see Mack Stop his wanderings and guide him back I'll be waiting, patiently By the Caribbean or Caribbean Sea. Is that the Caribbean Sea? And if I met this famous pirate Met him face to face You think I'd run and hide my head And scream around the place Why no I'd just sashay around Displaying all my charms And soon I'd have him walk the plank Right into my arms That's what I think of Mack the Black Macocco!
