Lyrics

Verse

When last did you have a good time,
Where de music blowing ya mind
When last did you go out and lime,
With ya friends and ya feeling fine
When de big truck passing, people jumping
People waving, misbehaving, what ah feeling
Wining and jamming, getting on bad,
Is mas in sweet Trinidad

Interlude

Jumping up in de burning sun, we jumping up in de band
Jumping up and we having fun... waving we hand

Chorus

Come and have a good time, for de Carnival
Come and have a good time, where de love does always feel natural
Come and have a good time, for de festival
Come and have a good time, where de feeling always feel special
Jumping up to de sweet pan, playing mas with a steelband
Every man and dey woman, wining up in de hot sun
Come and have a good time, for de Carnival
Come and have a good time, in de heat of it all

Verse

Whole year, look ya working real hard,
Take some time out to get on bad
So sweet, here in we Trinidad,
Play ya self like ya going mad
Tell de boss man "look is J'ouvert morning"
You not working, with so much happening, it so exciting
Powder throwing, horn blowing, and drum beating
Look de whole nation heating up

Interlude

Chorus

Verse

Colours, how dey blaze in a rage
As de brass bands cross de stage
Every section, is like a new page,
Just to play is a privilege
See dem strong men and dem, in dey section
With pretty woman, dis explosion, a combination
Dey flexing, de next ting, dey wining low
Carnival, well is heat for so

Interlude

Chorus
