If I talk again it could drive me mad |
|
I try to talk to the people of Trinidad |
|
If I talk again it could set me mad |
|
I'm tired if talkin' to the people of Trinidad |
|
All kinds of people come and doin' well |
|
And you the Trinidadians only catchin' hell |
|
How many times do you want to be told |
|
Your own comes first all over the world |
|
If you think I lie, I invite you please |
|
Just take a trip through the West Indies |
|
Make your first stop at Grenada |
|
Tell them that you come to look for labor |
|
If you miss and say you're from Trinidad |
|
They lick you from Grenada down to Fyzabad |
|
But you can't blame them on a whole |
|
My friend, that's the policy of the world |
|
So, Granadians for Granadians |
|
Jamaicians for Jamaicians |
|
Even Barbados take the same route |
|
Trinidadians, buck up and follow suit |
|
Well now you really lookin' for blows |
|
If you think you goin' anchor in Barbados |
|
The Bajuns goin' tell you you bloomin' fast |
|
Don't you know Bajuns first and outsiders last |
|
Then you heist your anchor to Jamaica |
|
Feelin' that your chances might be better |
|
But as I've led you to understand |
|
Boy, we only have work here for Jamaicans |
|
I'm not all selfish, I love to give |
|
And I believe in the slogan live and let live |
|
If the other islands aren't doin' that |
|
Well I don't see why we should be Miss Howard's cat |
|
It's time to go into the reverse |
|
Do like other nations put your people first |
|
You must do as you are told |
|
Or you would be the laughing stock of the world |
