A CAlypso Song

Calypso originated in Trinidad.
I've been listening to alot of it and the other day my buddy Corey was over and I offered him a banana.
He refused.
Then i got this first part in my head and i went with it.
I hope you enjoy. You'll have to use your imaginations for the music. I guess if you dont know calypso look it up so you can get a feel for the sound before you read.....

i Carve Calypso

mister Corey won’t eat my banana
no mister Corey won’t eat my banana
he picks garbage from the top like constanza
but mister Corey won’t eat my banana

          -Music break-

i tell you – political men will try to replant ya
pullin’ a veil over your eyes just to stand ya
but you are not their property
free yourself from corrupt authority

and keep it coming, yell your rights at the bad man
don’t take a plan, weave your own stand to stem some
the drummer strums hums- a sun chant to move from
and finds a journey in the quicksand hold up

no mister I will not take a lump sum
I trade the plums, one more week in the may sun
I wouldn’t come over and tell you what to do
But now I’ll say choose a more peaceful pursuit

and keep it coming, yell your rights at the bad man
don’t take a plan, weave your own stand to stem some
the drummer strums hums- a sun chant to move from
and finds a journey in the quicksand hold up

fisherman hears calypso at sunrise
the bats hear it as it echoes in the night sky
and by the fire on the beach we can reach you
to tell a story, leave a mark, take a chance to

and keep it coming yell your rights at the bad man
don’t take a plan, weave your own stand to stem some
the drummer strums hums- a sun chant to move from
and on the way finds a journey in the quicksand hold up
