Carnival in ’68

[Verse 1]
Montreal is nice, cherie
But I feeling bad
It's carnival time, honey
Back in Trinidad

I got to hear the tuning of the pan
Beating of the pan
With so much women in the place
Shaking up they waist
And when it's mas to play
I got to be there

[Chorus]
Let go me jacket, woman, ah going home straight
(Carnival in '68)
Woman, this one goin' to be great
(Carnival in '68)
I really can't wait
(Carnival in '68)
I hope I ain't late
(Carnival in '68)

[Verse 2]
If you keep me back, cherie that is misery
Darling, I just have to be back in my country
I really can't sing the kaiso like a eskimo
I been trembling in the snow from me hеad to toe
Show me the road to Trinidad bеfore I go mad

[Chorus]
Let go me jacket, woman, ah going home straight
(Carnival in '68)
Mama, I really can't wait
(Carnival in '68)
I hope I ain't late
(Carnival in '68)
This one goin' to be great
(Carnival in '68)

[Verse 3]
Expo was spectacular, now it's time to roll
Yes, I'm leaving Canada, Montreal too cold
I know you like plenty, plenty rum so you better to come
Yes, come along with me so that you can see
The world's greatest festival we call Carnival

[Chorus]
Let go me jacket, woman, ah going home straight
(Carnival in '68)
Woman, this one goin' to be great
(Carnival in '68)
I hope I ain't late
(Carnival in '68)
Cherie, I really can't wait
(Carnival in '68)

[Verse 4]
Pretty cherie, 'Au revoir', see you Ash Wednesday
Don't cry and make no uproar I really can't stay
If you hear I end up in jail try and stand me bail
I got a fever in the brain driving me insane
I got my costume already, so darling don't stop me

[Chorus]
Let go me jacket, woman, ah going home straight
(Carnival in '68)
Mama, I really can't wait
(Carnival in '68)
Hurry up this one goin' to be great
(Carnival in '68)
I hope I ain't late
(Carnival in '68)
(Carnival in '68)
(Carnival in '68)
(Carnival in '68)
(Carnival in '68)
(Carnival in '68)
(Carnival in '68)
(Carnival in '68)
