The Caribbean Disco Show

Longe vai o tempo em que as Selecções do Reader's Digest disponibilizaram um conjunto de cassettes onde vinha, entre outras, esta preciosidade(?). Quando era criança, fartei-me de cantar esta música, no melhor inglês que sabia...

"Té, missété, missété, missété, missété, missété-é-ô-ô".

Quem canta? Lobo. Quando? 1981.



Day-o, day-o
Here are songs everybody knows
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Me say day, me say day-o
The Caribbean disco show

Work all night on the drink a rum
Daylight come and me wanna go home
Stack banana 'till the morning comes
Daylight come and me wanna go home

Come Mr. Tally man tally me banana
Daylight come and me wanna go home
Come Mr. Tally man tally me banana
Daylight come and me wanna go home

This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many seas
But yours will always be home to me

Oh, island in the sun
Will to me by my fathers hand
All my days I will sing the praise
Of the forest waters your shining sand

Day, me say day-o
Here are songs everybody knows
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Me say day, me say day-o

Coconut woman is calling out
And everyday you can hear her shout
Coconut woman is calling out
And everyday you can hear her shout

Get your Coconut water (Coconut)
Man is good for your daughter (Coconut)
Coco got a lot of iron (Coconut)
Make you strong like a lion (Coconut)

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many-a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Day, me say day-o
Here are songs everybody knows
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Me say day, me say day-o

Judy drowned
Judy drowned
Why-o Judy drowned

Judy drowned, Judy drowned
Why-o Judy drowned

Angelina, Angelina
Please bring down your concertina
And play a welcome for me
'Cause I'll be coming home from sea

I say Angelina, Angelina
Please bring down your concertina
And play a welcome for me
'Cause I'll be coming home from sea

Day, me say day-o
Here are songs everybody knows
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Me say day, me say day-o
