Margie - Lord Kitchener

Margie,

Girl you always makin' row,

You could vex, yuh could please,

Yuh must listen now:

You always wanted me

To make you so happy.

Well darlin', I find de solution

To your desire and ambition.

Come leh-we lime,

As de people say.

Now is de time,

On Carnival Day.

Ah want yuh come in town;

Don’t you let me down.

Just throw on yuh morning duster,

An' pick me up by Green Corner.

We only ragin' as it is said,

And paintin' de town in red.

We go make bacchanal for dis Carnival!

Darling,

There’s no time to frown your face.

You must twist,

You must jump,

You must shake your waist.

You must forget de past,

And leh we play we mas.

Remember you come to have yuh fun,

So let bygones be bygones.

Come leh-we lime,

As de people say.

Now is de time,

On Carnival Day.

Ah want yuh come in town;

Don’t you let me down.

Just throw on yuh morning duster,

An' pick me up by Green Corner.

We only ragin' as it is said,

And paintin' de town in red.

We go make bacchanal for dis Carnival!

Doudou,

Now that yuh inside de band,

You could move as yuh like,

'Cause you wit yuh man.

So darlin' make yuh play,

An' start to ding-o-lay.

Let me see yuh body line

Movin' up like a ball o' twine.

Come leh-we lime,

As de people say.

Now is de time,

On Carnival Day.

Ah want yuh come in town;

Don’t you let me down.

Just throw on yuh morning duster,

An' pick me up by Green Corner.

We only ragin' as it is said,

And paintin' de town in red.

We go make bacchanal for dis Carnival!
