Trinidad time

av Lord Kitchener

 

Every Trinidadian believe in a lime (d.v.s. koppla av och snacka skit)

From the smallest child to the adult

They have no regard for time

Don’t worry to date them

You looking for problem

When they tell you eight

At half past ten you now start to wait

 

Refräng:

To come when they feel is a joke

It’s traditional

They even reach late for their work

They never punctual

Everybody know any time is Trinidad time

Wherever you go any time is Trinidad time

When they tell you eight

Any time is Trinidad time

They come half past late

Any time is Trinidad time

 

When they out to fool you

They kneel down and swear

You don’t have to worry I tell you

Eleven sharp I’ll be there

Poor you not knowing

You sit down and waiting

But you wouldn’t see the sight

They mean eleven tomorrow night

When they tell you ten

Any time is Trinidad time

They coming but when

Any time is Trinidad time

 

Evelyn tell me meet she

At six on the dot

Kitchie darling don’t keep me waiting

You know I love you a lot

I reach at five thirty

Well I still waiting

To get a glimpse of Miss Evelyn

I coming for true

Any time is Trinidad time

Christmas coming too

Any time is Trinidad time

 

Even the foreigners

They jump in the brew

I had a date with an English woman

To meet me at half past two

Half past four she coming

Like she ain’t do nothing

Kitchie don’t look so sad

We never hurry in Trinidad

When they drink their rum

Any time is Trinidad time

Can’t get them to come

Any time is Trinidad time
