About
An infectious Calypso groove pulses with syncopated percussion, steel drum accents, and an upbeat island rhythm, underpinned by acoustic guitars, bass, and congas for raw Trinidadian authenticity. Witty narrative lyrics deliver satirical storytelling on political scandals through male vocals, punctuated by lively call-and-response choruses that spark festive crowd participation. The live ensemble feel keeps energy high, blending humor and rhythm in a timeless Afro-Caribbean celebration.
Lyrics
One more time. We'll gather around, hear the tales so fine Of a leader dancing out of line He came with promises, shiny and bright Roads to the stars, jobs day and night Taxman forgotten, pockets full of gold But his speech is empty, stories untold Taxman forgotten pockets full of gold But his speech is empty stories untold We clucked and we cheered in the hot sun beat Now he's hiding his lies in a fancy retreat Oh, what a scandal, what a show Politician trippin', the party had begun Hey, hey, what a joke, what a joke, what a spin Your crown's made of tin Your crown's made of tin Now the people's cold Now the people's cold That he can't That he can't deny Papers are buzzing His empire crumbles right through the door Oh, what a scandal, what a show Politician pocket, let the party begin Hey, hey, what a joke, what a spin Your crown's made of tin Now the people's talking, the rhythm's alive No more fooling, time to survive We dance through the mess, hearts full of fire Tomorrow's our song, lifting us higher Yeah, scandal's done, but the beat goes on Hey, hey, what a spin Your crown's made of tin Your crown's made of tin Politician on his own toes Lies in the pocket truth in the wind We laugh and we sway let the party begin Hey, hey, what a joke Your crown's made of tin Your crown's made of tin Your crown's made of tin Your crown's made of tin Your crown's made of tin
