Freezing In New York - Mighty Sparrow

In Trinidad you go hear the talk

Sparrow gone up to New York

In Trinidad you go hear the talk

Sparrow gone up to New York

They seem to think ah feeling glad

But I wish I was back in Trinidad

The temperature up here is so cold

To keep warm I had to dance the rock 'n' roll

Ah catching cold sweat

Ah freezing to death

This is not for me

I’m in misery

So before any confusion

Ah making reservation

Now ah waiting for the aeroplane

To take me to Port of Spain

I left my friends and my family

And come up straight to New York City

I had one intention in mind

Some Yankee dollars I want to find

But in my search to get this dough

The temperature drop below zero

Snow start to fall down in meh yard

So now ah want to go back to Trinidad

Ah catching cold sweat

Ah freezing to death

This is not for me

I’m in misery

So before any confusion

Ah making reservation

Now ah waiting for the aeroplane

To take me to Port of Spain

I was standing by a bus stop

Freezing and sneezing, ah nearly drop

With nearly twenty inches of snow

Ah can’t get a bus, they running too slow

In all my misery and grief

I started to tremble like a leaf

Man when the bus did come up to me

I was stiff like the Statue of Liberty

Ah catching cold sweat

Ah freezing to death

This is not for me

I’m in misery

So before any confusion

Ah making reservation

Now ah waiting for the aeroplane

To take me to Port of Spain
