You really need to listen to this one as well "Germany" from Carnival 2006 by Kizzy Ruiz. First time I heard it just now though I been looking for a copy for ever. Prophetic last lines:
I only hope the poor players, don’t end up in a ditch,
With de fat cats getting fatter, and the rich even more rich,
On de road to…
Germany, Germany!

GERMANY
1.
Trini boy, you good,
Trini boy, you reach,
For all who say they were always sure,
When I hear them say that, they preach;
Nine months ago in de stadium,
The place was like a black hole,
Run frantic, looking for patrons,
You couldn’t find a soul;
But as history would have it,
Lawrence’s header find the net,
Now you can’t get a ticket,
But good reason to fete,
And all dem Trinbagonians,
Who didn’t put a cent,
See dem jumping on de bandwagon,
Singing, “ Warner for President”,
Cause we going….
CHORUS
Germany,
Germany,
And all dem Johnny come lately,
See dem wining up on de track,
They can’t tell Dwight Yorke from Stern John,
But they waving red, white and black,
And they chanting…
Germany,
Germany,
See we by Smokey and Bunty,
Yes, drinking Carib and rum,
Nothing on earth could stop we,
Not even a dustbin bomb!
Cause we going…
Germany,
Germany!
2.
This government good,
This government great,
Wait until we journey book,
Before they participate;
Hear de clever sports minister,
In de middle of de campaign,
All you come and check me,
When we beat Bahrain;
Now after the victory,
You talk about bram,
Thick, thick with VIP,
Piarco was jam,
I swear I hear a balisier,
Say to de rising sun,
If you only ramajay,
I will call de next election,
Cause we going…
CHORUS
Germany,
Germany,
Who worried about inflation,
Or if food prices too high,
Is time for celebration,
All man toute bagai!
Cause we going…
Germany,
Germany,
No time to think bout de murder rate,
Or de rising spate of crime,
Matters of State could wait,
Now is time to lime!
Cause we going…
Germany,
Germany!
3.
Jack Warner, you good,
Jack Warner, you smart,
All these years you was taking wood,
Now you capture Trinbago’s heart;
I hear dem say how in ‘89,
You sell out to USA,
From a Good Friday bobolee,
You are a hero today;
And de silver fox Panday,
He ain’t miss a beat,
I thought de UNC Chairman,
Was going to give you his seat;
Shuffling Dookeran and Ramesh,
Jack of Spades, you are a boss,
Some even betting next August,
You will get the Trinity Cross!
Cause we going…
CHORUS
Germany,
Germany,
And de patriot Jack Warner,
Who spend 17 million he say,
Want an open cheque for Benhakker,
But Manning tell him, no way…
Though we going…
Germany,
Germany,
De very same Jack Warner,
Town want for President,
Though they say he playing godfather,
He will make back every cent,
On de road to …
Germany,
Germany,
We playing some warm up matches,
Argentina and then Brazil,
De tickets will sell in batches,
But watch the man by the till,
On de road to …
Germany,
Germany
I only hope the poor players, don’t end up in a ditch,
With de fat cats getting fatter, and the rich even more rich,
On de road to…
Germany, Germany!
