Can you hear a distant drum Bouncing on the laughter of a melody ( yea, yea) And does the rhythm tell you, come, come, come, come Does your spirit do a dance to this symphony Does it tell you that your heart is afire And does it tell you that your pain is a liar Does it wash away all your unlovely Well are you ready for a brand new discovery
Calypso, calypso (oh oh) Calypso Music (yea yea) Calypso, calypso (oh oh) Calypso Music (yea yea) Singing wo yea yea yea wo yea yea yea, wo yea calypso Singing wo yea yea yea wo yea yea yea, wo yea calypso
Ah say that I am the seed of the Growling Tiger now I got to sing Wo yea yea yea wo yea yea yea, wo yea calypso
(David Rudder - Calypso Music Lyrics)
It is a living vibration Rooted deep within my Caribbean belly Lyrics to make a politician grin Or turn a woman's body into jelly It is a sweet soca music, calypso You could ah never refuse it, calypso It make you shake like a Shango now, calypso Why it is you shaking you don't know That's calypso.
Calypso, calypso ho ho Calypso Music (yea yea) Calypso, calypso ho ho Calypso Music Singing wo yea yea yea wo yea yea yea, wo yea calypso Singing wo yea yea yea wo yea yea yea, wo yea calypso
Ah say that I am de seed, I'm de seed of Atilla now I got to sing Wo yea yea yea wo yea yea yea, wo yea calypso
I can still hear Lion roar Through Greenwich village While Executor kills them dead at the Rainbow Blue Lord Invader conquers Berlin but their hearts this time, And Lord Kitchener make Ole London feel so new Beginner and Terror too Fitzroy Coleman fingers dancing on the fret
And when you think that he through He aint start nothing yet
Carnegie hall graced by the presence of Sparrow And when Slinger done with they tail Hear them shouting don't go Sparrow don't go
(David Rudder - Calypso Music Lyrics)

From the time the first bamboo cut And we drag it down from up in the St. Anns hill From the day the first chantwell lead the band The real jamming start that day And we jamming still, still Creating rhythm dat could be deadly like Headley Only this time The spirit and de melody was sending they soul to the boundary From the bongo drum to de roll of de tassa Ever since Europe come and she make massa bassa We jamming it!
