Corbeau Sheltering Rain - Mighty Sparrow

Big joke, one day it had rain

With some corbeaux and a Pan American plane

Big big big joke, one day it had rain

With some corbeaux and a Pan American plane

Corbeau is a bird don’t like to get wet

Rain catch them in the air, imagine big fête

Pan American bound for Port of Spain

Corbeau fly inside to shelter the rain

Well Mama that was really cute

Passengers bail out in parachute

The aviator making speed for so

Land Piarco with a ram-cram plane of corbeaux

That’s right I mehself was there

The plane was making somersault in th air

Lord have mercy, what an awful thing

All you hearing is corbaux wing flapping

The cabin overcrowded and very soon

They find themselves inside of the pilot room

Excitement was too much, the pilot old

A corbeau fly on he shoulder — he lose control

Yes sir, that was really cute

Passengers bail out in parachute

Oh man, the aviator making speed for so

But when he land Piarco was only corbeaux

Well this one I’ve got to relate

Pan American pilots just great

Nose down, lightning start to flash

I ain’t driving but ah looking for brakes to mash

This pilot my friend was really under strain

But he finally settled the Pan Am plane

The reason why he fight so hard to escape

He said he had too many corbeau lives at stake

Oh meh lad, oh that was really cute

Everybody has jumped out in parachute

And the aviator making speed for so

Land Piarco with a ram-cram plane of corbeaux

People came in spite of the rain

To meet their friends and relatives by that plane

If I ain’t mistaken on that very day

Some big wig was coming from the U. K

Police by the grap up at Piarco

Music playing brother when they see them corbeaux

A Bajan man say «This thing is absurd

I thought they say this was the land of the humming bird!»

Oh meh lad, that was really cute

Passengers jumped out in parachute

And the aviator making speed for so

Land Piarco with a ram-cram plane of corbeaux
