Yeah, baby you know how we do
You, me
You tell your friends
I'll tell mine
It's that time again

Carnival in T and T
Is so special to all ah we
Like we need blood in we vain
That's how we feel about Port-of-Spain
When the posse them come in town
Beating pan and ah bongo drum
Is madness everywhere
Carnival is ah true freedom
Make ah noise or ah joyful sound
And jump up in the 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

So put yea rag them in the air, in the air, in the air
Stomp yea foot them on the ground, on the ground, on the ground
And lemme see you jump around, jump around, jump around
And let them know we comin' down, comin' down, comin' down
Yeah ya

All the pettiness have to down
We is the soca vagabonds
Is madness everywhere
Marinating under the sun
Dis is how we does all come one
And jump up in the air

[Chorus: x2]

So put yea bumper like ah truck, like ah truck, like ah truck
And lemme see yea push it back, push it back, push it back
And now yea ready take ah jump, take ah jump, take ah jump
Well lemme see yea jook it up, jook it up, jook it up
And lemme see yea roll

Seasons come and seasons go
But Carnival will last
From Port-of-Spain straight to S'ando
Take it out, take it out and play ah mas'

[Chorus: x2]

Carnival when when I comin' down
Jumpin' to dis crazy song
People spreading rumors in town
Machel is ah mad man
You know you love bacchanal
Is part of they festival
All that is Carnival

So put yea flag them in the air, in the air, in the air
Stomp yea foot them on the ground, on the ground, on the ground
And lemme see you pull yea rag, pull yea flag, pull yuh rag
And let them know we comin' down, comin' down, comin' down
So push yea bumper like ah truck, like ah truck, like ah truck
Well lemme see yea push it back, push it back, push it back
And when yea ready take ah jump, take ah jump, take ah jump up now
Because, it's Carnival

Watch the ride,
Push it, push it, push it
And everybody take ah, take ah, take ah
And lemme me see yea push it, push it, push it
And everybody take ah, take ah, take ah
And lemme me see yea now
Like ah truck, like ah truck, like ah
And lemme me see yea take ah wave, take ah wave, take ah
And lemme me see yea take ah jump, take ah, take ah
And when yea ready push it, push it, push it
