Olga

Listen to this

Through Olga I miss

My carnival band

I drink up all kind of alcohol

Just before carnival

Me head start to spin

Me knees start to buck

Me whole body start to rock

Tired, sleepy, broke-up

So I asked her to wake me up

Olga, Olga

I hearin' a boom, boom, boom

Olga, Olga

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom my darling

Olga, do do

I hearin' a steel pan

It's an old tradition

To jump in the band

I telling you friend

She wake me up 'bout half an hour too late

So I grab me hat, and my shoes

And I gone running straight through the gate

When I look back was Olga

With a fifth of rum in she hand

She say I come to ask for forgiveness

And to join the carnival band

Olga, Olga

I hearin' a boom, boom, boom

Olga, Olga

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom my darling

Olga, do do

I hearin' a steel pan

It's an old tradition

To jump in the band

You can't drop asleep that time of the year

Or you go miss all the fun

Singing, dancing, loving each other

No class distinction

The air is clean, the food is fresh

That's the life in the West Indies

And if the people was sleeping

There'll be no calypsos like these

Mama look at the band passing...

Olga, Olga

I hearin' a boom, boom, boom

Olga, Olga

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom my darling

Olga, do do

I hearin' a steel pan

It's an old tradition

To jump in the band

No one alive

Will ever know

What carnival mean to me

If I'm absent from carnival

Me soul does leave me body

Carnival time I feel like a king

Everybody join in and sing

'Til the carnival is over

Olga, Olga

I hearin' a boom, boom, boom

Olga, Olga

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom my darling

Olga, do do

I hearin' a steel pan

It's an old tradition

To jump in the band

Mama look at the band passing...
