You always wanted me
To make you so happy.
Well darlin', I find de solution
To your desire and ambition.

On Carnival Day.
Ah want yuh come in town;
Don't you let me down.

An' pick me up by Green Corner.
We only ragin' as it is said,
And paintin' de town in red.

You must shake your waist.

And leh we play we mas.

So let bygones be bygones.

An' pick me up by Green Corner.

And paintin' de town in red.

You could move as yuh like,
'Cause you wit yuh man.

An' start to ding-o-lay.

Movin' up like a ball o' twine.

Ah want yuh come in town;
Don't you let me down.
Just throw on yuh morning duster,
An' pick me up by Green Corner.
We only ragin' as it is said,
And paintin' de town in red.
We go make bacchanal for dis Carnival!
