(R. Ramdehal)
Carnival people
Put you rags in de air, put you flags in de air, put you hands in de air, get ready to go
Eh, You rags, you flags, you rags, you flags, oh oh oh oh oh
People its carnival again; Whether its in sunshine or in rain
RepresentinÃÂ' colors from all nations; Ah want to ask you a carnival question
WhatÃÂ's de color of you flag? When carnival start, you jumpinÃÂ' up high, and reachinÃÂ' de sky
Color of you rag? When you jump and wave, like you jus get saved, and you misbehave
Color of you skin? When you play jÃÂ'ouvert and a stranger come and mud up you face
Color of you heart? When de music hit you brain and you start to jump up
1, Jump up, 2, Jump up, Jump up and show me now
Show me you colors, Jump up itÃÂ's carnival time
Just show me you colors, Wave you rags and flags up high
Show me you colors, Start to make a wine
Just show me you colors, De music is yours and mine
The savior made a rainbow for we; ItÃÂ's in the sky for us to see
Go see when colors unite; Them does even shine more bright
Side by side we must learn to be; Live in peace and harmony
ItÃÂ's de spirit of carnival; One love, one heart, one union
WhatÃÂ's de color of you blood? When you takinÃÂ' a drink with a pardner on de side a de road
Color of you sweat? When you takin a juk, and wininÃÂ' up hard, and you soakinÃÂ' wet
Color of you mind? When you makinÃÂ' love, and the skies above, everythingÃÂ's fine
Color of you soul? When you live with love and unity, with everybody, everybody
Jump up and show me now
Show me you colorsÃ....
WhatÃÂ's de color of you skin? When you play mud mass, you play jÃÂ'ouvert, and donÃÂ't care ÃÂbout nothinÃÂ'
Color of you soul? When you jump and dance, with a million people, in carnival
WhatÃÂ's de color of you flag? When you wave it high, it reach de sky, itÃÂ's carnival time
Color of you rag? On Labor Day, Miami, Caribana, Guyana, Trinidad
Show me you colorsÃ....
