No More Rocking Rolling |
I say Calypso sweeping the place |
Like if she come out a space |
I say Calypso sweeping the place |
Like if she come out a space |
I can remember rock and roll |
Had the whole place under control |
Since calypso leave Trinidad |
Rock and roll really suffering bad |
No more rocking, no more rolling |
No more jumping up like a fool |
Whether you crazy or you lazy |
Man, you just got to take it cool |
This is calypso and everyone know |
It is strictly rhythm and rhyme |
Whether young or old |
Jump in the line and shake your body in time |
Plenty people trying their best |
But they making a mess |
Just for the money they put on a show |
And tell you it’s calypso |
But you should come to Trinidad |
See how people jumping mad |
For as soon as we hear the true melody |
The jumping spirit comes naturally |
We don’t have |
No more rocking, no more rolling |
No more jumping up like a fool |
Whether you crazy or you lazy |
Man, you just got to take it cool |
This is calypso by the Sparrow |
It is strictly rhythm and rhyme |
Whether young or old |
Jump in the line and shake your body in time |
Some Trinidadians, big and small |
Ain’t like calypso at all |
And some again love it more than daily bread |
But can’t sing if you kill them dead |
Don’t care how good this musician may be |
The ryhthm just comes naturally |
If it’s for you it’s yours my friend |
This is gifted to certain men and women |
No rocking, no rolling |
No jumping up like a fool |
Whether you crazy or you lazy |
Man, you just got to take it cool |
This is calypso and everyone know |
It is strictly rhythm and rhyme |
Whether young or old |
Jump in the line and shake your body in time |
We have musicians who bad like yaws |
Men like Cyril Diaz |
Ordinarily he is just like the rest |
Doing his very best |
But when it comes to Calypso |
He is the boss as we all know |
Whether he is hungry or sad |
And you say Calypso Diaz gone mad |
He don’t have |
No rocking, no rolling |
No jumping up like a fool |
Whether you crazy or you lazy |
Man, you just got to take it cool |
This is calypso and everyone know |
It is strictly rhythm and rhyme |
Whether young or old |
Jump in the line and shake your body in time |
