Lyrics Corbeau Sheltering Rain - Mighty Sparrow

Corbeau Sheltering Rain

Big joke, one day it had rain
With some corbeaux and a Pan American plane
Big big big joke, one day it had rain
With some corbeaux and a Pan American plane
Corbeau is a bird don’t like to get wet
Rain catch them in the air, imagine big fête
Pan American bound for Port of Spain
Corbeau fly inside to shelter the rain
Well Mama that was really cute
Passengers bail out in parachute
The aviator making speed for so
Land Piarco with a ram-cram plane of corbeaux
That’s right I mehself was there
The plane was making somersault in th air
Lord have mercy, what an awful thing
All you hearing is corbaux wing flapping
The cabin overcrowded and very soon
They find themselves inside of the pilot room
Excitement was too much, the pilot old
A corbeau fly on he shoulder — he lose control
Yes sir, that was really cute
Passengers bail out in parachute
Oh man, the aviator making speed for so
But when he land Piarco was only corbeaux
Well this one I’ve got to relate
Pan American pilots just great
Nose down, lightning start to flash
I ain’t driving but ah looking for brakes to mash
This pilot my friend was really under strain
But he finally settled the Pan Am plane
The reason why he fight so hard to escape
He said he had too many corbeau lives at stake
Oh meh lad, oh that was really cute
Everybody has jumped out in parachute
And the aviator making speed for so
Land Piarco with a ram-cram plane of corbeaux
People came in spite of the rain
To meet their friends and relatives by that plane
If I ain’t mistaken on that very day
Some big wig was coming from the U. K
Police by the grap up at Piarco
Music playing brother when they see them corbeaux
A Bajan man say «This thing is absurd
I thought they say this was the land of the humming bird!»
Oh meh lad, that was really cute
Passengers jumped out in parachute
And the aviator making speed for so
Land Piarco with a ram-cram plane of corbeaux
