paroles de chanson Carnival in '68 - The Mighty Sparrow

Montreal is nice, Cherie, but ah feeling bad
It's Carnival time, honey, back in Trinidad
I gotta hear the tuning o' the pan, beating o' the pan
There's so much women in the place, shaking up they waist
And when it's mas to play, I got to be there

Let go meh jacket, woman, ah going home straight
(Carnival in '68)
Oy woman, this one goin' be great
(Carnival in '68)
I really can't wait
(Carnival in '68)
I hope I ain't late
(Carnival in '68)
Come on!

If you keep me back, Cherie, that is misery
Darling I just have to be back in my country
I really can't sing the kaiso like a eskimo
I mean trembling in the snow from meh head to toe
Show me the road to Trinidad before I go mad!

Let go meh jacket, woman, ah going home straight
(Carnival in '68)
Oy mama, I really can't wait
(Carnival in '68)
Mmm, I hope I ain't late
(Carnival in '68)
Yes, this one goin' be great
(Carnival in '68)
Ooh yeah!

Expo was spectacular, now it's time to roll
Yes I'm leaving Canada, Montreal too cold
I know you like plenty plenty rum, so you better come
Yes, come along with me so that you can see
The world's greatest festival we call Carnival

Let go meh jacket, woman, ah going home straight
(Carnival in '68)
Oy woman, this one goin' be great
(Carnival in '68)
Ayee, I hope I ain't late
(Carnival in '68)
Cherie I really can't wait
(Carnival in '68)
Oh yeah!

Bid you Cherie "au revoir", see you Ash Wednesday
Don't cry and make no uproar, I really can't stay
If you hear I end up in the jail, try and stand meh bail
Carnival fever in meh brain, driving me insane
I got my costume ready, so darling don't stop me

Let go meh jacket, woman, ah going home straight
(Carnival in '68)
Oy mama, I really can't wait
(Carnival in '68)
Hurry up, this one goin' be great
(Carnival in '68)
I hope I ain't late
(Carnival in '68)
