Woom Poom

The women only asking me about carnaval
They planning to come and jump and make bacchanal
Anywhere I go people want to know
They coming to listen to kaiso and pan
And no kind of politics ain't go spoil their plan
I tell them "have no fear, I will be there"

I want a dame to jump, sun or rain
I want to feel more gay than words can say, singing
"Wum pum, shake up the bum-bum, break away
We gon' rest Ash Wednesday, we gon' rest Ash Wednesday!"

They tell me that they heard all about the tragedy
About most famous bandleader George Bailey
And they hoping to see a statue of he
They say that they hoping Carnival '72
The people will jump up as they usually do
I told them "have no fear, I will be there"

Honey,
I want a dame to jump, sun or rain
I want to feel more gay than words can say, singing
"Wum pum, shake up your bum-bum, break away
We gon' rest Ash Wednesday, we gon' rest Ash Wednesday!"

I told them: "Our country is such a paradise
And so many lovely people to treat them nice
Mayor Tom will take them around
In state of emergency we'll not stop your fun
But in case you're worried about your protection
Baby have no fear, I will be there!"

I want a dame to jump, sun or rain
I want to feel more gay than words can say, singing
"Wum pum, shake up the bum-bum, break away
We gon' rest Ash Wednesday, we gon' rest Ash Wednesday!"
