Yeah, baby you know how we do

You, me

You tell your friends

I'll tell mine

[Destra verse 1]

Carnival in T and T

Is so special to all ah we

Like we need blood in we vain

Dats how we feel about Port-of-Spain

When de posse dem come in town

Beating pan and ah bongo drum

Is madness everywhere

Carnival is ah true freedom

Make ah noise or ah joyfull sound

And jump up in de air

So...



[chorus]

Everybody take ah jump, take ah jump, take ah jump up now

Start to wave, start to wave, start to wave up now

Start to wine, start to wine, start to wine up now

Because, it's Carnival



[Bridge 1]

So put yuh rag dem in de air, in de air, in de air

Stomp yuh foot dem on de ground, on de ground, on de ground

And lemme see you jump around, jump around, jump around

And let dem know we comin' down, comin' down, comin' down
