Wahbeen and Grog

One more time!
Swing it out boys!

[Verse 1]
Something on your mind I want to know
Darling, why you behaving so
Something on your mind I want to know
Sparrow, why you behaving so
You getting restless
And you sleepless
Tossing and turning in the bed
Like if you going out your head

Way I tell she:

[Chorus]
Darling ah can't remain in New York again
Ah got to go back for J'Ouvert, darling
Pick me up on Ash Wednesday morning
Charlotte Street where all good folks meet
Wahbeen and grog and pan beating fine
All that weigh on meh mind

[Verse 2]
You living on Park Avenue
Ah giving every thing to you
Money and clothes and everything
You should be happy like a king
Man, you is a big shot
Ain't nothing you ain't got
Now kiss me darling hold me hand
Your wish is my command

But I tеll she:

[Chorus]
Darling ah can't remain in New York again
Ah got to go back for J'Ouvеrt darling
Pick me up on Ash Wednesday morning
Charlotte Street where the boys does meet
Wahbeen and grog and pan beating fine
All that weigh on meh mind

[Verse 3]
Carnival near I want to go back
But I have too many contract
Thousands of people in Carnegie
Right now waiting on me
Ah got to be there
Why in France I am here
I should be drinking with Lance and Leon
And Joe Bell in Janet gang

[Chorus]
Darling ah can't remain in New York again
Ah got to go back for J'Ouvert darling
Pick me up on Ash Wednesday morning
Charlotte Street where the boys does meet
Wahbeen and grog and pan beating fine
All that weigh on meh mind

[Verse 4]
From Arima, Sangre Grande, Mayaro, Talparo
Diego Martin to Los Iros
Tunapuna straight to Carenage
Brother so much wahbeen at large
Ah got to get them
Can't resist them
The only cure for Carnival fever:
I got to leave America

Let me tell you:

[Chorus]
Darling ah can't remain in New York again
Ah got to go back for J'Ouvert darling
Pick me up on Ash Wednesday morning
Charlotte Street where all the boys meet
Wahbeen and grog and pan beating fine
All that weigh on meh mind
