We're on the slow boat rokin'
Bound for Trinidad ¡
There's a warm wind blowin'
Bound for Trinidad ¡
A shell of bad weed burnin'
Bound for Trinidad ¡
With a cool juice flowin'
Bound for Trinidad ¡

In the tropical heat
I can see young girls dancin'
To the calypso beat

Dem-a-windin' and skankin'
Shakin' the coco trees
Der bare feet hoppin' anna jumpin'
In the evenin' breeze
