A calypso with the lines:
The Rooooooaaaaadd
Make tuh Waaaaallllllkkkkk
On Canaaaval Daaaaay
A line from A Kitchener tune
De name of dat song is
The Road:
Ah hear how dey plannin', fuh Carnival comin'
Ah hear how dey plannin', fuh Carnival comin'
Dey say dey go beat people, and dey doh care 'bout trouble
But tell dem doh worry wit me, is ah different ting in 1963
(Chorus)Because, de road make tuh walk on Carnival day
Constable, ah doh want tuh talk , but I've got to say
Any steelband man, only venture to break dis band
Is ah long funeral from de Royal Hospital
Ah hear information, 'bout de situation
Dey tell me Tokyo, is ah danger wit Desperado
Dey even call Sun Valley Trinidad All Stars and Tripoli
Dey could play dey mas as long as dey doh tackle me when dey pass
(Chorus)I make no distinction, in making my assertion
Whether is Invaders, Dixieland, or de Fascinators
Dey all get de same wire, including Cross Road and Cross Fire
I eh making fun, de strongest survive and de weakest run
(Chorus)and the other line I remember is:
Steel band music is the greatest talent on Earth.
I eh sure, but it sound like
Pan Talent by the Mighty Terror:
I bound to compliment all de steelbands
For their excellent talent and fame dey brought Trinidadians
Take dis little tip from de Terror, yes sir
Steelbands come to stay forever, why
Ah can't hear my ears in England
Everybody want to learn de big pan
Now dey want to organise a police steelband in Britain, yes
(Chorus)Doh, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, doh
Pan playing music anywhere you go
What a talent, excellent talent you hear what I say
Steelband music is de greatest talent today
