Andy Narell - De Long Time Band lyrics
Enough is enough! Shout Little Man As he pull out the ancient tenor pan The Carnival is soft, that is a fact And so I going in town and bring it back Only Peter Minshall, I think that is he name He used to try but look he gone to Spain Whole week me vibes just telling me To go down and cause some controversy Elroy, go and get your saxophone We got a dudoop and a man with a trombone I don’t know where they get the bamboo from But dem boys start a rhythm section Sweet Ken reach with the two red women from south All you know the two we are talkin’ about They bust a flask of rum, wet the ground And cock their bottom in the direction to town And they callin’ the band – De Long Time Band See them raise their hand – De Long Time Band Twenty-five of them – De Long Time Band Jammin’ kaiso rhythm – De Long Time Band De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band They come out to follow Little Man De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band A mystic movin’ through the land Enid bawl out like she insane I never thought me times would come again When we jammettes used to rule these people town The hoity toits used to run when we around She forget she was cookin’ fus she amazed This got to be a band from me jammette days She pull up she dress, cock she mouth And start to work she belly inside and out People try their best to cool she down They even send for she man, they say well he’s strong He was a Indian from Belmont they call Caruth He really try to cool she down for truth She fling him off, not for hell she wouldn’t listen Then she start to wine like she never christened She body made from blood and bacchanal And she bottom come to mash up the Carnival Them so way was in – De Long Time Band If you seem them jamming in – De Long Time Band Just 50 of them – De Long Time Band Jammin’ kaiso rhythm – De Long Time Band De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band They come out to follow Little Man De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band A mystic movin’ through the land 2:00 pm now by Memorial Park “All you can’t get on the stage until it gets dark” So say a test from the NCC A black Indian shout out “Young boy, not we” He say “But sir in front we have Poison and Berkeley” He say “Boy I beat men named so in ‘53” A Midnight Robber just watch him and wink he eye And then they hug up and the lyrics start to fly I wouldn’t lie breds (smack) I kiss the cross And the band in front start to drift like they lost And the big brass bands they couldn’t play On the barber green they start to clear the way Little Man summon up now the whole band The rhythm men start up with a doption And then the black Indian chant out in a rage Next thing, they’re on the Savannah stage It all that way happen in – De Long Time Band I was there in person – De Long Time Band Ten thousand of them – De Long Time Band Jammin’ kaiso rhythm – De Long Time Band We is De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band We come out to follow Little Man De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band A mystic movin’ through the land Leave Savannah now, they gone to town Well now the band about 20 thousand strong Mr. St. George the dragon man Join the black Indian up in front the band And right in front of Woodford Square He turned and cock he dragon tail in the air And then he do a dollar wine on the Red House lawn People start to wonder what going on An inspector called Dove he start to frown Watching this dragon man getting down Everybody know St. George have a plan But nobody can figure out the dragon man Little Man join him now in a Ramajay Port of Spain start to shake as the dingolay The Hall of Justice roof bust in half The Dragon just cock back and start to laugh Twelve midnight, town in chaos Talkin’ about the earthquake, and how the roof bust It was 12:05 when he mash up the band Then up to Mango Rose tenor in he hand Enid was with him as he walk home The jammette just get a vibe don’t leave him alone They say in front he shack appeared a man With a towel on he shoulder, hammer in hand I don’t know if it’s true ‘cause I wasn’t there They say he take the tenor pan and he fade away Ooman start to bawl big men start to cry Little Man just watch them and say I satisfied Not another word he walk in the shack With a smile on he face he never look back Six o’clock Enid made Caruth bust the door They find him in bed but he was no more But they stay and they play – De Long Time Band All through Ash Wednesday – De Long Time Band Enid tell the police flat “Show some respect, remove your hat” We is De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band We play a next one for Little Man We De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band They would never forget we in this land…never never never… |
