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
