Rain-O-Rama - Lord Kitchener

Well they moan and dey fuss and dey say we want we fete

And dey ‘buse and they cuss and they say this is a threat

Yes, they damn and they blast, and they say we hope it ain’t true

They won’t dare to cancel we jump up 1972.

Mama, when they hear they go get the carnival

All masqueraders on heat

When they didn’t hear if it was official, but they started turning beast on the

street

And they start to jump around, yaay, and they start to tumble down, yaay

And they fall down on the ground, yaay, if you see how they gay, yes

But what was so comical, in the midst of bacchanal

Rain come and wash out mas in May.

Some ah them even say is they come from Morne Coco

so they wouldn’t let we play and dey blaming polio,

who they think they could fool all we know they better do fast, polio or no

polio, man we want we mas.

When the news hit the town, the band leaders rail up then

Well they can’t slow we down, ‘cause a lot of money spent

And they know very well everybody have their minds bent

So they have to try and save us this embarrassment.

One or two big shots say that it is impertinent

to suggest they should play carnival after the Lent

Well the crowd start to bawl, they eh know what they talking ‘bout

Why the so and so hypocrites doh shut up dey mouths.
