Queen of the Band

Lyrics

[Verse 1] During the emergency Mas player Rosemary Was in a real tight spot She didn't know what was what Carnival is all she fun And it look like there'll be none She take pen and paper from the shelf And she write to Heaven for help... [Chorus] "Dear Father, this year Please don't let them stop we Carnival Please give us this year A sunny and peaceful festival Peace and harmony So daddy could buy all meh mas clothes Don't give us [?] [?] jump the calypso so So that we could jump up in the band Drinking rum, hugging up we man I remain yours truly, Queen of the Band!" [Verse 2] I turn and I tell her "Let me see the letter" She tell me to wait a minute Let she put some stamp on it Then she get a piece of rope To tie up the envelope She say, "Saint Peter he ain't getting bail If he ever open this mail!" [Chorus] "Dear Father, this year Please don't let them stop we Carnival Please give us this year A sunny and peaceful festival Peace and harmony So daddy could buy all meh mas clothes Don't give us [?] [?] jump the calypso so So that we could jump up in the band Drinking rum, hugging up we man I remain yours truly, Queen of the Band!" [Verse 3] Ah sure by now you could tell The woman was mad like hell She is a real sufferer With Carnival fever They don't pay no mind to she Everyone know she crazy She went and she give the parson The letter to post to Heaven... [Chorus] "Dear Father, this year Please don't let them stop we Carnival Please give us this year A sunny and peaceful festival Peace and harmony So daddy could buy all meh mas clothes Don't give us [?] [?] jump the calypso so So that we could jump up in the band Drinking rum, hugging up we man I remain yours truly, Queen of the Band!"
