mighty sparrow - carnival boycott [original] lyrics

Loading...

i am going to play mas as usual
because i love carnival
sparrow playing mas as usual
because i love carnival
but no competition for me
in san fernando or the city
they could preach peter or paul
i won’t even go savannah to see football

i intend to keep all meh costumes on the shelf
let them keep the prizes in the savannah for they own self
and let the queen run the show
without steelband and calypso
who want to go could go up dey
but me ain’t going, no way

yes, what really cause the upset
is the car the queen does get
she does nothing for carnival
she only pretty and that is all!
but men like me and you
saving money to play history and ju ju
all we getting is two case of beer
and talk up as “band of the year”

so i intend to keep all meh costumes on the shelf
let them keep the prizes in the savannah for they own self
and let the queen run the show
without steelband and sparrow
who want to go could go up dey
but me ain’t going, no way

the calypsonians with the talent
hardly getting a cent
i think it’s overbearing
so now give me a hearing
calypso is the root of carnival
steelband is the foot of carnival
without calypsos, no road march could beat
without steelband, i’ll bet you don’t move your feet

i intend to keep all meh costumes on the shelf
let them keep the prizes in the savannah for they own self
and let the queen run the show
without steelband and calypso
if you want to go, you can go up dey
but me ain’t going, no way

they started talking nonsense
about some kind of violence
but they should publish an apology
because they lying on we
we looking for better condition
they making false allegation
say what they want, do what they like
sparrow is one calypsonian strike

i intend to keep meh calypsoes on the shelf
let them keep the prizes undivided for they own self
and let the queen run the show
with she fridge and she radio
man if you want to go, you could go up dey
but me ain’t going, no way
