Calypso

About

This vibrant Calypso track pulses with syncopated percussion and steel drum accents, driving an upbeat island groove that captures the live ensemble feel of Trinidadian street songs. Witty narrative lyrics deliver sharp political satire through call-and-response vocals, poking fun at politicians' empty promises in a festive, storytelling style. Acoustic-focused production emphasizes natural percussive drive, brass swells, and clear male vocals for authentic organic energy.

Lyrics

Methylization, please! Admin check shift Check your shiftmate first Admin's gone It's not time to rehearse The kettle in check He's voting for the ish That ain't orbit It's a guns mess We dance from left We move to right Keeble's rules are out of sight Swears the moon is made of gold But his truth stays bought and sold Oh, what a show What a silly parade Politicians promise The world in the shade We shout no He says more We say whoa Laugh and clap Don't be afraid It's the greatest game ever played Either two With a grin so sly Or two Semi's Tells a lie Free the riches End the fight But his yacht sails out of sight Either sway like palm tree breeze Chanting slogans weak in ease Ballots fly like confetti rain Nothing changes, just the same Oh, what a show What a silly parade Politicians promise The world in the shade We shout no He says more We say whoa Laugh and clap Don't be afraid It's the greatest game ever played Now the bandsmen beat the rhythm fast Crowd goes wild, the die is cast Who will win this merry chase? Same old face in a newer place Woo! Twirl your partners, stomp your feet Woo! Mock the mighty, feel the heat Third one's coming, bold and brash Vows to fix the endless crash Build the towers, pave the streets Pockets lined before he speaks We holler back with a smile With joyful roar Demanding truth forevermore But the wheel keeps turning round Jesters rule this goofy town Oh, what a show What a silly parade Politicians promise The world in the shade We shout no He says more We say whoa Laugh and clap Don't be afraid It's the greatest game ever played Final act The dawn breaks clear Empty chairs and faded cheer Pledges fade like morning dew Back to work me and you But we'll gather once again For the laughter never ends Satire song will always ring Crown the clown, let freedom sing Oh, what a show What a silly parade Politicians promise The world in the shade We shout no He says more We say whoa Laugh and clap Don't be afraid It's the greatest game ever played So raise your glass to the big charade Fought with a wink and a big hooray The circus rolls, the night is young Sing it loud, our satirical song Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Fade away Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Fade with laughter Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
