Bunji Garlin - Carnival Tabanca Lyrics

Ahh ah ah aye, oh Lord
Ahh ah ah aye, yeah, ah ah good Lord

Everybody let me see yuh
Clap those hands,
Come now and let me see you

Ah tell you ah have it

Ah tell you ah have it, Lord
Tell you ah got it, oh Lord, Lord

I am a real Carnival tabanca
Hard Carnival tabanca
As soon as Carnival done this year
Well I just start catching 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 you help me
Every time I hear a police siren
I tinking is escort
Comin' to take me to the next venue
So my 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
Ah tell you ah have it
Ah tell you ah have it
Lord, tell you ah have it, yeah

Everybody let me see you
Clap those hands,
Come now and let me see you
Clap those hands
Everybody let me see you
Clap those hands,
Come now and let me see you
Clap those hands

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
Ah tell you ah have it
Ah tell you ah have it
Lord, tell you ah have it, yeah

Everybody let me see you
Clap those hands,
Come now and let me see you
Clap those hands
Everybody let me see you
Clap those hands,
Come now and let me see you
Clap those hands

Ah tell you ah have it
