About
An infectious calypso groove pulses with syncopated percussion and shimmering steel drum accents, underpinned by upbeat island rhythms from guitars, bass, and congas. Witty narrative lyrics deliver sharp satirical commentary on political scandals and carnival mischief through storytelling verses and lively call-and-response choruses. The raw, organic acoustic production evokes authentic Trinidadian street fete energy, perfect for swaying and laughing along.
Lyrics
Listen close Me story true Carnival lights Scandal blue Down by the road Where the fed ignite Big man politician Dancing all night Pocket full money But his sweetheart wife Now she not home Promise they school But spend the rum looking like fool We shall power He shall vote me But scandal drop like mango tree Call it so king Sing the truth so sweet Politician tumble On him on two feet Corruption dance We laugh and sway no defeat Hey hey scandal man What you say We see you slip In the bright daylight May you promise jobs But hire him Cause in daily life Humble on him on two feet Corruption dance In carnival beat We laugh and sway no defeat Hey hey scandal man What you say We see you slip In the bright daylight One day we rise Take back the crown No more tricks No clown around But till then we sing and mock Calypso showtime Chop like rum punch rock Hey hey scandal say But story play all day Hey hey laugh it off Truth gon' win Calypso But jam begin Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
