Lyrics

[Verse 1] Trinidad coming like New York, soon They're building buildings to touch the moon Trinidad coming like New York, soon They're building buildings to touch the moon First of all is Salvatori Take up all the space in the city Now all the buildings around Looking just like old shacks in Shanty Town [Chorus] If you see this big macco building (Oh Lord!) Well it higher than a mountain It's so big and tall Salvatori make Johnson and them look like nuttin' Nuttin' at all, at all [Verse 2] All them owners of stores in town Had a meeting Sunday gone They say they know the small ones would be pushed around So they go sell and join to big one But valuator Mr. Morton Say Bhadoorsingh and Woolworth ain't worth nuttin' So if they sell out and have cash in hand It ain't enough to pay for Salvatori foundation [Chorus] If you see this big macco building Big and blue and higher than a mountain It's so big and tall Salvatori make Johnson and them look like, oh! Nuttin' at all, at all That so! [Verse 3] Well, any time ah have to shop I now know just where to go Not me in them stupid little store, ah wouldn't stop Ah ain't care what they have to show If Stephen selling khaki And the same khaki selling at Salvatori Ah passing Stephen straight, and friend, believe me And pay two shillings more at Salvatori [Chorus] If you see this big macco building (Oh Lord!) Well it higher than a mountain It's so big and tall Salvatori make Johnson and them look like nuttin', nuttin' Nuttin' at all, at all [Verse 4] Well ah take the elevator, from the ground to top And put on meh spying glass Just looking around, but then ah had to stop And duck for the moon to pass Ah try to look down, but ah check back From up there people looking like bachack Motor car and truck looking like toy Cipriani self looking like a little boy [Chorus] If you see this big macco building (Oh Lord!) It higher than a mountain It's so big and tall Salvatori make Johnson and them look like nuttin', nuttin' Nuttin' at all, at all
