Wow! It's Carnival time again!
So you gotta run around the bend and tell your friend
That Carnival is here again, that's how we tell you
Yeah! Oh my gosh!
I've seen Carnival in Rio Mas
In Toronto, Viesta
In Mexico
And I've seen New Orleans
Mardi Gras, Bacana
But nothing to beat the Trinidad Carnival
When you hear the tempo
The land vibrates with tempo
The island like one big disco
Charming Zuka, charming
Charming Calypso
Hear them bassline moving
See all them waistline grooving
Costumes of
Wild rhythm like dirt
Is the greatest show on the earth
I've seen New York greatest actors
Hollywood designers
And Broadway great producers
But designers and the actors
And producers in Carnival
Broadway don't have nothing over them at all
Broadway don't have nothing over them at all
When you hear the tempo
The land vibrates with tempo
The island like one big disco
Charming Zuka, charming
Charming Calypso
Hear them bassline moving
See all them waistline grooving
Costumes of Wild rhythm like dirt
Is the greatest show on the earth
Is the greatest show on the earth
Is the greatest show on the earth
Is the greatest show on the earth
I've heard tunes by Marta Varney
The great classics, so
But on Carnival day
I've heard the sweetest harmony
Every street corner, song like a symphony
When you hear the tempo
The lands vibrate with tempo The island like one big disco
Charmin' Soka, Charmin' Charmin' Calypso
Hear them bassline movin' See all them waistline groovin'
Costumes are full, rhythm like dirt It's the greatest show on the earth
If you see the King of Persia Or the Tsars of Russia
Or warriors from Africa Gleaming, glittering in gold
Rockin' to Calypso Take off the mask, one of them is Lord Laro
Rockin' to the temple The lands vibrate with tempo
The island like one big disco Charmin' Soka, Charmin' Charmin' Calypso
Hear them bassline movin' See all them waistline groovin'
Costumes are full, rhythm like dirt It's the greatest show on the earth
Tempo, the lands vibrate with tempo The island like one big disco
Charmin' Soka, Charmin' Charmin' Calypso
Hear them bassline movin' See all them waistline groovin'
Costumes are full, rhythm like dirt It's the greatest show on the earth
