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

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
