Hard Carnival tabanca

As soon as Carnival done this year

Well I just start ketching fever

When the doctor come diagnose me

Tell meh wife me well, is not dengue

Is just delusions and delusion have

Me thinking Soca can help me

Every time I hear a police siren

I tinking is escort

Comin' to take me to the next venue

So meh performance would not be short

When ah see a big truck in Port-of-Spain

Tinking is Harts of Bliss

Is ah big dump truck passin'

Wit red san' in it, Lord

(Ah tell you ah have it) x3

Lord, tell you ah have it, yeah

Clap those hands

Come now and let me see you

Clap those hands) x2

I miss jumpin' on de road with Tribe

Deh wit meh woman on meh right han' side

All meh friend an' dem from outside

Who from North and who from South side

I miss jumpin' with de band in de road

Alcohol in meh hand -it cold

When dem gyul dem 'bumpers' start roll

Man dem markin' 'bumpers' to hold

Well anytime I go out and buy some paint

All I see is J’Ouvert

When de blue devils dem from Paramin

Dey blockin' road to get pay

And when ah see a big truck in Port-of-Spain

Tinking is Tribe of Bliss

Is ah big dump truck passin'

Wit red san' in it, Lord

(Ah tell you ah have it) x3
