Lyrics Rain-O-Rama - Lord Kitchener

Rain-O-Rama

Well they moan and dey fuss and dey say we want we fete
And dey ‘buse and they cuss and they say this is a threat
Yes, they damn and they blast, and they say we hope it ain’t true
They won’t dare to cancel we jump up 1972.
Mama, when they hear they go get the carnival
All masqueraders on heat
When they didn’t hear if it was official, but they started turning beast on the
street
And they start to jump around, yaay, and they start to tumble down, yaay
And they fall down on the ground, yaay, if you see how they gay, yes
But what was so comical, in the midst of bacchanal
Rain come and wash out mas in May.
Some ah them even say is they come from Morne Coco
so they wouldn’t let we play and dey blaming polio,
who they think they could fool all we know they better do fast, polio or no
polio, man we want we mas.
When the news hit the town, the band leaders rail up then
Well they can’t slow we down, ‘cause a lot of money spent
And they know very well everybody have their minds bent
So they have to try and save us this embarrassment.
One or two big shots say that it is impertinent
to suggest they should play carnival after the Lent
Well the crowd start to bawl, they eh know what they talking ‘bout
Why the so and so hypocrites doh shut up dey mouths.
