About

Bouncy syncopated percussion and steel drum accents propel this upbeat island groove, layered with call-and-response vocals that amplify the witty narrative lyrics skewering political scandals and empty promises. Traditional acoustic ensemble of guitars, bass, congas, and brass delivers a raw, live Trinidadian feel, perfect for festive social commentary. The storytelling unfolds in a humorous, rhythmic calypso style evoking carnival streets.

Lyrics

Well gather round hear the tale so fine gather round hear the tale so fine of a leader dancing in the midnight shine. He promised roads smooth as silk so fine but potholes swallow eagles every time talk of jobs for the young and bold while pockets empty stories untold. He waved his flag at the carnival beat sipping sweet rum moving his feet say he fight for the poor man's plight. But yachts sail far into the night oh what a show what a grand parade promises fly like confetti cascade we in distress. Hey, hey, what a grand parade, promises fly like confetti cascade. Hey, hey, calypso cry. Hey, hey, calypso cry. Hey, hey, calypso cry. Truth in the rhythm, no alibi. Lady in red, catch your lips away. We're in neon sky, building schools, now building this throne. We're in neon sky, building schools, now building this throne. Oh what a show what a grand parade promises fly like confetti cascade dance all night forget the mess leader laughing we in distress. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
