Crazy like mad

For you i`m crazy like mad
For you i`m crazy like mad
Come dance with me and you will see
For you i`m crazy like mad

When tourists come the Bahamas away
They come to hear me sing at Jack a nip café
And when i see somebody rich and gay
I go up to his table and then i say

For you i`m crazy like mad
For you i`m crazy like mad
Come dance with me and you will see
For you i`m crazy like mad

That`s how i hope to meet a millionaire
Someone to take me driving everywhere
But then i meet a latin man instead
And when we started dancing to me he said

For you i`m crazy like mad
For you i`m crazy like mad
Come dance with me and you will see
For you i`m crazy like mad

He had no money but he kissed like mad
His name was Pancho and he was so bad
He said we`d marry then he sailed away
And now i dream of Pancho each time i say

For you i`m crazy like mad
For you i`m crazy like mad
Come dance with me and you will see
For you i`m crazy like mad

For you i`m crazy like mad
For you i`m crazy like mad
Come dance with me and you will see
For you, for you, for you, i`m crazy like mad

Cronica del asunto steel drum

Encontrándonos con el camarada Johnson en un céntrico bar de reconocido prestigio y sintiéndonos inútiles en ese momento esperando la estampida y la campanada, recordamos la necesidad de agregar un sonido caribeño al nuestro. Recordé que había visto un tonel de petróleo a pocas calles de ahí, así que ahí nos fuimos balanceándonos.
Una obra en construcción, toneles abandonados, gente que va y viene, teorías sobre cómo cargarlo, 100 metros, cristales en el suelo, resbalón golpe sangre, esparadrapo y cuidados intensivos, palabras de aliento.
Ya tenemos el tonel, días después también el manual, 176 páginas de dudosa interpretación sobre cómo hacer un steel drum a la sueca.
Necesitamos gente capacitada para dar golpes, también un metalista mentalista, un espacio amplio para hacer todo tipo de pruebas, y mucho betadine, Johnson tocará la guitarra mientras dure la tarea, sólo la guitarra.

From a logical point of view

If you want to be happy, living a kings life
Never make a pretty woman your wife.
If you want to be happy, living a kings life
Never make a pretty woman your wife.
Now all you got to do is just what i say
And then you may be jolly merry and gay, therefore
From a logical point of view, better marry a woman uglier than you
From a logical point of view, always marry a woman uglier than you

A pretty woman make a husband look small
And very often cause his down fall
Soon as she married there and then she start
to do the things that will break your heart
and when you think that she is belonging to you
she`s calling somebody else to do.
From a logical point of view, better marry a woman uglier than you
From a logical point of view, always marry a woman uglier than you

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
You can be sure you will be happy in all your life
She will never do things in a funny way
To allow the neighbors have their things to say
She wouldn`t disregard her husband at all
By exhibiting herself to Peter and Paul.
From a logical point of view, better marry a woman uglier than you
From a logical point of view, always marry a woman uglier than you

An ugly woman gives you your meals on time
And try to make you comfortable in mind
At time when you lay sick in your cozy bed
She will both caress you and scratch your head
And not a minute in the night will she live you alone
It seems she want to milk the cold from your bone.
From a logical point of view, better marry a woman uglier than you
From a logical point of view, always marry a woman uglier than you

Coconut water

Coconut water

Honey come and go with me,
back to the west indies
Baby can`t you see i`m losing
me health and me energy
What i need is to

Drink the coconut water, drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water i can not get in America

Drink the coconut water, drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water i can not get in America

At the medical centre, what you think,
the doctors told me i have to drink
they say take this advise from me johnny and
go back to the west indies.
What you need is to

Drink the coconut water, drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water i can not get in America

Drink the coconut water, drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water i can not get in America

I remember when i was young,
i was a husky and very strong
Now i`m so feeble and weak me knees keep
knocking when i walk the street.
What i need is to

Drink the coconut water, drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water i can not get in America

Drink the coconut water, drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water i can not get in America

My friends i would be glad,
the day i get back to Trinidad
I know my people will be happy to see me, like a monkey
climbing up a coconut tree.
What i need is to

Drink the coconut water, drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water i can not get in America

Drink the coconut water, drink the coconut water
Drink the coconut water i can not get in America

Jean and Dinah

Jean And Dinah /Mighty Sparrow Lyrics


Well the girls in town feeling bad
No more Yankees in Trinidad
They going to close down the base for good
Them girls have to make out how they could
Brother is now they park up in town
In for a penny, and in for a pound
Believe me it's competition for so
Trouble in the town when the price drop low

Chorus:

So when you bounce up Jean and Dinah
Rosita and Clementina, round the corner posing
Bet your life is something they selling
And if you catch them
You can get em all for nothing
Don't make no row, the yankees gone, Sparrow take over now

Things bad is to hear them cry
Not a sailor in town, the night clubs dry
Only West Indians like me or you
Are able to get a drink or two
And as we have things back in control
Ah seeking revenge with me heart and soul
Brother when I spread the news around
Is to see how them cave men come into town


When the Yankee was in full swing
Just imagine how I was suffering
Mavis told me straight to me face
How she find I too fast and out of place
No, no, no, they would start to fret
Money or not poor Sparrow can't get
Because with the Yankees they have it cool
Calypsonians too hard to fool

It's the glamour boys again
We are going to rule Port of Spain
No more Yankees to spoil the fete
Dorothy have to take what she get
All of them who used to make style
While they taking two shillling with a smile
No more hotel to rest your head
By the sweat of thy brow thou shall eat bread

Man smart

Man Smart

I say let us put man and a woman together
To find out which one is smarter
Some say man but I say no
The woman got the man de day should know

And not me but the people they say
That de man are leading de women astray
But I say, that the women of today
Smarter than the man in every way
That’s right de woman is uh smarter
That’s right de woman is uh smarter
That’s right de woman is uh smarter, that’s right, that’s right

Ever since the world began
Woman was always teaching man
And I you listen to my bid attentively
I goin’ tell you how she smarter than me

Samson was the strongest man long ago
No one could a beat him, as we all know
Until he clash with Deliah on top of the bed
She told them all the strength was in the hair of his head

You meet a girl at a pretty dance
Thinking that you would stand a chance
Take her home, thinking she’s alone
Open de door you find her husband home

I was treating a girl independently
She was making baby for me
When de baby born and I went to see
Eyes was blue it was not by me

Garden of Eden was very nice
Adam never work in Paradise
Eve meet snake, Paradise gone
She make Adam work from that day on

Methusaleh spent all his life in tears
Lived without a woman for 900 years
One day he decided to have some fun
The poor man never lived to see 900 and one
