atilla the hun - the governor's resignation lyrics

[intro]
in my opinion sir murchison fletcher
was our ablest governor
in my opinion sir murchison fletcher
was our ablest governor

[verse 1]
we only wish the downing street authorities
would send more men like him to the west indies
his resignation was a shock to me
regretted throughout this colony

[verse 2]
sir murchison fletcher will ever be
beloved in every trinidadian’s memory
for he proved in sincerity
his interest in the welfare of this colony
“we must foster local industry”, said he
“and augment the island’s prosperity.”
it is no wonder with regret and pain
we learn he ain’t coming back again

[verse 3]
many of you will remember and know
when he first came i sang a calypso
in which i’ll admit i was rather bold
for i contended he was too old
when he was here a year i changed my opinion
for he gloriously justified his election
and today we find his resignation
is a cause for lamentation
[verse 4]
in this my sentiments are just, sincere, and true
i must include lady fletcher too
for interest in the oppressed masses she has shown
her baby clinic work is too well known
the social worker fought indefatigably
to help and aid suffering humanity
so we can say our luck is bad
to lose them both here in trinidad

[verse 5]
we don’t know whom his successor may be
but this we can say independently
he might be as good but can not be better
than our own sir murchison fletcher
we receive his resignation with deep regret
we know what we had but we don’t know what we going to get
but still the population is always glad
to welcome him back to trinidad
