Bacchanal

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The steelband beating sweet A old calypso beat Budubudum bumdumdam dubidabidibidaba... Where the steelbands are beating down this carnival [Chorus] They be jumping up And they brushing up And me working up And they talking up Hug up with a nice woman With a bottle in your hand Telling people the time has come for bacchanal Wild and low [?], man, bacchanal! Kaiso, steelband, bacchanal! From the grand stand, bacchanal! [Verse 2] From morning 'til nightfall We don't stop at all Hear a thousand voices singing, bawling Every man in a costume, that is carnival! [Chorus] And we jumping up And we brushing up And we working up And we talking up Hug up with a nice woman With a bottle in your hand Telling people the time has come for bacchanal Wild and low [?], man, bacchanal! Kaiso, steelband, bacchanal! From the grand stand, bacchanal! [Verse 3] They come from far and nеar To take part every yеar See Canadian, Yankee, Englishman And good Becouyan and Grenadian in front the band [Chorus] And we jumping up And we prancing up And we working up And we talking up Hug up with a nice woman With a bottle in your hand Telling people the time has come for bacchanal Wild and low [?], man, bacchanal! Kaiso, steelband, bacchanal! From the grand stand, bacchanal!
