When Roosevelt came to the Land of the Hummingbird | |
Shouts of welcome were heard | |
"Hummingbird, Hummingbird, Hummingbird" | |
His visit to their island is bound to be | |
An epoch in local history | |
Definitely marking the new era | |
Between Trinidad and America | |
We understand that the president had just been | |
On a visit to Brazil and the Argentine | |
With Mr. Cordell Hull in attendance | |
There they took part in a peace conference | |
Struck by his modest style | |
We were intrigued by the famous Roosevelt smile | |
In fact everybody was glad | |
To welcome Roosevelt to Trinidad | |
We were privileged to see the democratic | |
President of the great republic | |
With his charm and his genial personality | |
And his wonderful urbanity | |
To stop war and atrocity | |
And make the world safe for democracy | |
The greatest event of the century | |
In the interest of suffering humanity | |
Port of Spain threw open her gates | |
To the President of the United States | |
In fact everybody was glad | |
To welcome Roosevelt to Trinidad |
