Lyrics
Steelpan calling, morning light, Wake up, wake up, it's carnival time.
Down by de beach where de palm trees sway, Me see dis fella tryin' to steal me girl away. He dance like a crab, wit' a funny lil' grin, But she laugh in he face, say 'Boy, you can't win!' He bring flowers from de market so fine, But I got me riddles dat blow he mind. From Port of Spain to de hills up high, Nobody trick me under dis Caribbean sky.
Soca sunrise, shenanigans all around, Jump and wine, let de good times abound. Steel drums ringin', hearts beatin' free, In dis Calypso life, pure jubilee!
No worries here, just laugh and play, Trini spirit light de whole day.
De politician talk big, promise gold and fame, But we know de truth, it's all de same game. Wit' he fancy suit and he silver tongue, Tryin' to fool de people, but we ain't dumb. We sing back loud in our calypso way, Expose de lies, make him run away. From de rum shop tales to de festival beat, We keep it real, can't be beat.
Soca sunrise, shenanigans all around, Jump and wine, let de good times abound. Steel drums ringin', hearts beatin' free, In dis Calypso life, pure jubilee!
No worries here, just laugh and play, Trini spirit light de whole day.
Slow it down now, feel de breeze, Life's too short for all dese teases. But hold on tight, de rhythm gon' rise, Back to de party under sunny skies.
Soca sunrise, shenanigans all around, Jump and wine, let de good times abound. Steel drums ringin', hearts beatin' free, In dis Calypso life, pure jubilee!
No worries here, just laugh and play, Trini spirit light de whole day.
Fade wit' de drums, echo de cheer, Soca sunrise, year after year.
Calypso forever, goodnight my friends.
