Lyrics Trinidad Carnival (Original Version) - The Mighty Sparrow

Well the biggest bacchanal is in Trinidad Carnival
Oh Lawd, the biggest bacchanal is in Trinidad Carnival
All you got to do when the music play
Take you man, break away
Regardless of colour, creed or race
Jump up and shake you waist

That is the spirit of Carnival
It's a creole bacchanal
So jump as you mad this is Trinidad
We don't care who say we bad

Yes, get out your motor-car and join one another
Oh Lawd, drink if you drinking
Brother dance if you dancing
Don't be afraid to bug up the craft
Hold she tight, she bound to laugh
If she husband hit you with a baseball bat
You look for that

All of that is Carnival
It's a creole bacchanal
So jump as you mad this is Trinidad
We don't care who say we bad

No colour question, worst again we got Federation
So jump and be merry, don't care how you black and you ugly
You could jump with black
You could jump with white
Jump until it's twelve tonight
Take it cool
Don't be a fool

All of that is Carnival
It's a creole bacchanal
So jump as you mad this is Trinidad
We don't care who say we bad

Drink up you liquor
Man you bad like a tiger
Sing you calypso
And you jump like a shango
You know you jump up like a crazy fool
In the air like a stubborn mule
Tuesday night when the trumpet blast
Rock and roll and play mas'

That is the spirit of Carnival
It's a creole bacchanal
So jump as you mad this is Trinidad
We don't care who say we bad
