FDR in Trinidad |
When Roosevelt came to the Land of the Hummingbird |
Shouts of welcome were heard |
«Hummingbird, Hummingbird, Hummingbird» |
His visit to their island is bound to be |
An epoch in local history |
Definitely marking the new era |
Between Trinidad and America |
We understand that the president had just been |
On a visit to Brazil and the Argentine |
With Mr. Cordell Hull in attendance |
There they took part in a peace conference |
Struck by his modest style |
We were intrigued by the famous Roosevelt smile |
In fact everybody was glad |
To welcome Roosevelt to Trinidad |
We were privileged to see the democratic |
President of the great republic |
With his charm and his genial personality |
And his wonderful urbanity |
To stop war and atrocity |
And make the world safe for democracy |
The greatest event of the century |
In the interest of suffering humanity |
Port of Spain threw open her gates |
To the President of the United States |
In fact everybody was glad |
To welcome Roosevelt to Trinidad |
