All week ave been singing this song. Hoping for a warrior's victory, but long after the result of Saturdays game is forgotten, many of us will still be singing the song. Yuh know the chorus sing it nah
Ah find El Dorado
It really was down in South
But it wasn't Mexico
Dem was talking bout
Dem rich Trinidadians show me
Dis whole El Dorado ting
Dey say dey living here like Lords
But den dey gone to live there like kings
As dey get a little money in dey pocket
They hidin' de kakadah.
And as yuh miss dem scamp and dem
Dey somewhere in Panama
CHORUS
So I I I I, I goin to Panama
I gotta go to Panama
What it is dey having over dere
To make Trinis just gone clear?
Some say that they gone with …. thousands
Some say dat is tens of …. thousands
Some talking about even … millions
And for their pension … billions
Icyah take ole talk
I takin' a walk
I done buy meh duty free rum
Stamp meh passport, Panama here I come
It had dis chinese gentleman
Ooh I don't know he name
They say he was a big businessman
And racing was he game
They even call him some kinda ambassador
Ah really don't know
But in dis pappyshow land
Nearly everything is a pappy show
They say he had a riding partner
They call this fella the worst
I have to finish the mauvais langue
When I reach in the next verse.
So I I I I, I goin to Panama etc
I cyah take ole talk
I takin a walk
All yuh doh spoil meh fun
Tear meh ticket
Panama here I come.
