Ah was standing there liming,
Thinking ah was having some fun
Laughing, drinking, and singing
On the Island of Sun

Along came a car with some thugs
And before you know it,
Ah was shot, and now I will
End up in a 6 foot pit

Yuh cannot take time outside
Yuh own home and land
Cause before you know it
You are shot and it’s...

When I think of Christmas
I think of sweet melody
Singing and dancing
Parang, Parang

Family gathering, great unity
Moving from house to house celebrating

Sharing and giving
Mama cooking
Everything finger liking
Party of the year
T&T Christmas...

I leave my home in Trinidad
 And I come to live in America
 And now I working at Kmart
 Whole day at a cash register

 But I do have a lot of problems
 Every time I get hungry to eat
 all it has is a bunch of junk food
 Or bread with some artificial meat

Trinidad girls

Meet a girl in Trinidad
She like to eat plenty pepper
But if you see the girl  
 She sweet like sugar

She likes to sing
And she can dance for so
She likes to go shopping
Gulf city and San Fernando

And she has a lot of respect 
The girl is pure class
She says good morning 
To every one...

  Oh, to be in Trinidad
when the hot scented currents flow,
  from East Dry River to Nariva 
samaan and silk cotton tree grow.
  Where whisperin’ palms reach
across island reef and coconut lagoon,
  and the forests of Papa Bois 
flower with poinsettias in bloom

  Oh, to be in Trinidad
inside the spirit...

Angel of my life, only woman I adore
Never will there be anyone that I could ever love more
Goddess of the earth, your beauty is timeless
Eternal flame of my heart, true love for you I profess
Lady so magnificent, please spare me some time
I promise to love you with a love that's sublime
Nefertiti is nothing compared to...

I remember the land of drums I was born
  bedded beneath great hanging nets;
          the sound of the conch and the horn.
My blue suitcase filled with stuff,
             the red tricycle and pedal car
that...

Wistful is the heart, silent the walls
    where the gambols of youth echoed.
A return tale’s sentimental journey
  inside the gates of Sweet Briar Road

Long it behoves me my thanksgiving 
    to you, aunties Yvonne and Jocelyn T.
For all the love you showed withal
     and...

Oh what a time we had riding on the bus to the Centre!
The scenery was amazing
We felt as if we were with VS Naipaul as we journeyed
The roads were smooth
The atmosphere conducive to productivity
The laughter, the smiles, the shared experiences were enough 
To put our minds at ease as we constantly asked the driver to...

I hear that a girl in Trinidad
Looking for a very good husband
My brother says she father rich
Will give me house and land

Well I must admit I thought
This sounds like a good plan
So I decide go to Trinidad
And become she loving husband

When the plane land in the airport
It was getting kind of late
So we drive straight...

How I long to see the sunrise,
How I thirst for the ocean.
My feet weary,
My eyes tired,
My soul weakens. 
Oh mother nature! 
Once so kind to me,
When you bore me 
Upon thee earth
No better place,
No better haven.
Sweet melodies,
Cheerful laughter,
Children playing,
Steel band rehearsing.
Trinidad the place of my birth
Childhood memories
That cannot be erased
Friendship formed,
Bonds unbroken, 
Time frozen....

Cool Trinidad girls 

They running on the beach 
And they playing around 
Dancing to the music 
And singing a song

Does matter what age you are 
Or if your hair is full with curls 
You all are superstars 
You are Cool Trinidad girls

Going San Fernando having fun
Shopping for the latest style
Hannah and Amanda 
Laughing all the...
