Bacchanal

[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!
