Drinking in the nightclub with my bosom friend
Who come down to spend the weekend When I look back who'd you think I see But one of my family Good heavens I shout Mama Jacob, what the France you doin' in a night club Same time the rock and roll start to play She hold onto a Yankee and break away |

Of all the world's famous singers I have ever seen
on the movie screen Of all the world's famous singers I have ever seen on the movie screen Lawrence Tibbett and Nelson Eddie Donald Nobis and Morton Downey Kenny Baker and Rudy Vallee But the crooning prodigy is Bing Crosby Bing has a way of singing with his very heart and soul Which captivates the world His millions of listeners never fail to rejoice At his golden voice They love to hear his "La Di Dah Di dah" So sweetly with such harmony Thrilling the world with his melody I wonder if you heard him singing the song "May I Be the One to Say I" I wonder if you heard again "Everytime It Rains It Rains Pennies from Heaven" But "Love Thy Neighbor" was a most thrilling song And "Git Along Little Dogie Git Along" Unanimously three cheers for Mr. Bing Crosby |

We have captains like Filo James and Ellie Manette
Arthur Byer, Neville Jules and Junior Pouchette Kenrick George, David Edwards I must mention Anthony Williams and Michigan They are giants musically And their names ought to go down in history The steelband music is really sweet You get that rhythm in every beat The steel the grater and the oil drum Will make you jump up and make you hum It's fantastic in every sense The music yet get from these instruments The dominant chord from the guitar man The prominent note on the tenor pan Music in the place But it's hell to keep up the pace with the bass |

Among the singers on the moving screen
The negroes are the best ever heard or seen Among the singers on the moving screen The negroes are best ever heard or seen Morton Downey went to a singing school But the four Mills brothers are sweet and cool And I ain't got nobody, nobody cares for me. Nobody cares. For those of you have seen "The Big Broadcast" Cab Calloway was unsurpassed From mystery pictures Bela Lugosi And relax with Mr.Crosby Mae West, of course, is a fair piece singer I still prefer to hear the Four Mills Brothers in "I ain't got nobody, nobody cares for me. Nobody cares" |

At the age of nine my father said to me
Son you're growing fine I'm very proud to see Soon a man you'll be with all the zest for life But your greatest test will be to choose a wife Be careful, son be careful. All that glitters isn't gold Be careful. Son be careful, movin' round toward the young and the old You must watch them twice That is my advice You'll find they're nice from far, but far from nice. Marriage is not a sport, it is no game to play Once they have you caught, it's hard to get away Behind every great man there's a woman, that's true But she has a hand in every downfall too Every lady is a woman though nature's act But every woman is not a lady and that is a fact! To comprehend the difference it will take a lot, For they both pretend to be what they are not. |

There's music in the streets
There's music everywhere A little old soul beat There's dancing everywhere I would tell the whole world Tell them if I could To add a little song into each life It's finger snappin' good Pardon me, but you could use it We're goin' to make a little music You got soul now don't you lose it We're goin' to make a little music Everything's going to be mellow People just a singin' occapella People just a singin' occapella There's music in the street There's music in the air A little old soul beat There's dancin' everywhere I would tell the whole world Tell them if I could To add a little song into each life It's finger snappin' good |

There's a lady in a turban by a cocaine tree
She does that dance so rhythmically She's a laughin' and singin' and havin' a time And boy that cocaine tree looks fine. Chorus Put on your sailin' shoes Put on your sailin' shoes Everyone will start to cheer When you put on your sailin' shoes Doctor doctor I feel so bad This is the worst day I've ever had He says "Have you this misery a very long time? 'Cause if you if I'll lay it on the line." |

Come follow me down to a tiny land
Things to see, friends to meet; you would understand Darlin' get up, let us pack up For the journey it's a nonstop It's a date Sweetheart don't be late Come, let me go, let me go to Tobago That paradise, found by Robinson Crusoe And it is said, it's the land of tomorrow Princess Margaret say, come Tobago for holiday Now the whole world say, come Tobago for holiday Your native friend surely would be a host And show you some of the beauties from coast to coast As you look down curiously at the gray sand and the blue sea You'll agree, it's just heavenly For rare beauty, well, it's my belief There is no other place like the Buccoo Reef Where the fishes seems to gather Just to welcome every stranger It is grand On this Crusoe land |

If I talk again it could drive me mad
I try to talk to the people of Trinidad If I talk again it could set me mad I'm tired if talkin' to the people of Trinidad All kinds of people come and doin' well And you the Trinidadians only catchin' hell How many times do you want to be told Your own comes first all over the world If you think I lie, I invite you please Just take a trip through the West Indies Make your first stop at Grenada Tell them that you come to look for labor If you miss and say you're from Trinidad They lick you from Grenada down to Fyzabad But you can't blame them on a whole My friend, that's the policy of the world So, Granadians for Granadians Jamaicians for Jamaicians Even Barbados take the same route Trinidadians, buck up and follow suit Well now you really lookin' for blows If you think you goin' anchor in Barbados The Bajuns goin' tell you you bloomin' fast Don't you know Bajuns first and outsiders last Then you heist your anchor to Jamaica Feelin' that your chances might be better But as I've led you to understand Boy, we only have work here for Jamaicans I'm not all selfish, I love to give And I believe in the slogan live and let live If the other islands aren't doin' that Well I don't see why we should be Miss Howard's cat It's time to go into the reverse Do like other nations put your people first You must do as you are told Or you would be the laughing stock of the world |
