... CARNIVAL ...
___________________
rich in colour
vibrant and svelte
varieties in faces
climactic madness is what's felt
introducing the celebrations of the carnival life
never to be mistaken, the aroma's breeze in the air
of sophistication, and nothin less of debonair
drum...drum...drum
drum...drum...drum
captivating are the celebrations of the carnival life
tidy up your energy, and prepare to be amazed
no worries, exuberant thoughts
no fears, brave little hearts
are coming, with all happiness to share
no tears, very rare
the kiddies, the kiddies
they masquerade through the streets
pitter...patter...pitter...patter
they are disguised in a colorful collage
sunshine and rainbow are the mirage
drum...drum...drum
drum...drum...drum
splendor is the celebration of the carnival life
oh, how i wish i could touch
i wish i could see
i wish i were there
how thrilled would i be?
the feel of the lime silk dress
with gold sequin clinching the trim
the costume would suit me quite well
right against my skin
as i'm swinging
i sway
i'm swaying in the wind
soulfully, i would dance
until the very end
pitter...patter...pitter...patter
drum...drum...drum
drum...drum...drum
the height of madness has filled the souls
of all those who had come
fascinated by costume attire
tinted rich reds, watermelon pinks and egyptian golds
these are the days of the carnival life.
