   You could probably find a piece of sheet music for it someplace, with a   
   composed piano accompaniment, probably rather stiff.   
      
   Calypso is a folk music, not usually played from a score. Better just to   
   listen to it, and figure out the chords to play on the piano, and give it a   
   calypso feel., The chord progressions in calypso are very simple, usually   
   just variations of I-IV-V-I. (I think that progression would get you through   
   most of that song. )   
      
   But-I'm sure you could find sheet music to it somewhere on the Internet.   
   There are even online sheet music companies where you download the sheet   
   music and print it out, after purchase. But be aware that's not how calypso   
   is normally played, from sheet music.
