Skyscraper |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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! |
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 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
