Rain-O-Rama

Rain-O-Rama —Lord Kitchener Well they moan and dey fuss and dey say we want we fete And dey 'buse and they cuss and they say this is a threat Yes, they damn and they blast, and they say we hope it ain't true They won't dare to cancel we jump up 1972. Mama, when they hear they go get the carnival All masqueraders on heat When they didn't hear if it was official, but they started turning beast on the street And they start to jump around, yaay, and they start to tumble down, yaay And they fall down on the ground, yaay, if you see how they gay, yes But what was so comical, in the midst of bacchanal Rain come and wash out mas in May. Some ah them even say is they come from Morne Coco So they wouldn't let we play and dey blaming polio, Who they think they could fool all we know they better do fast, polio or no polio, man we want we mas. ... When the news hit the town, the band leaders rail up then Well they can't slow we down, 'cause a lot of money spent And they know very well everybody have their minds bent So they have to try and save us this embarrassment. ... One or two big shots say that it is impertinent To suggest they should play carnival after the Lent Well the crowd start to bawl, they eh know what they talking 'bout Why the so and so hypocrites doh shut up dey mouths. ...
