No More Rocking and Rolling

[Verse 1]
I said Calypso sweeping the place like if she come outta space
My, my Calypso sweeping the place like if she come outta space
I can remember rock and roll had the whole place under control
Since Calypso leave Trinidad rock and roll really suffering bad

[Chorus]
No more rocking, no more rolling, no more jumping up like a fool
Whether you're crazy or you're lazy, man you've just got to take it cool
This is Calypso and everyone know, it is strictly rhythm and rhyme
Whether young or old, jump in the line and shake your body in time

[Verse 2]
Plenty people trying their best but they're making a mess
Just for the money they will put on a show and tell you that's calypso
But you should come to Trinidad, see how the people jumping mad
For as soon as we hear the true melody, the jumping spirit comes naturally

[Chorus]
We don't have no rocking, no rolling, no more jumping up like a fool
Whether you're crazy or you're lazy, man, you've just got to take it cool
This is Calypso by "The Sparrow", it's strictly rhythm and rhyme
Whether young or old, jump in the line and shake your body in time

[Verse 3]
Some Trinidadians, big and small ain't like Calypso at all
And some again love it more than their daily bread, but can't sing it if you kill them dead
Don't care how good the musician may be, the rhythm just come naturally
If it's for you it's yours my friend, this is gifted to certain men and women

[Chorus]
No rocking, no rolling, no jumping up like a fool
Whether you're crazy or you're lazy, man you've just got to take it cool
This is Calypso and everyone know, it is strictly rhythm and rhyme
Whether young or old, jump in the line and shake your body in time

[Verse 4]
We have musicians who bad like yaz, men like Cyril Diaz
Ordinarily he is just like the rest, doing his very best
But when it comes to Calypso, he is the boss as we all know
Whether he is hungry or sad, and you say "Calypso" Diaz gone mad

[Chorus]
He don't have no rocking, no rolling, no jumping up like a fool
Whether you're crazy or you're lazy, you've just got to take it cool
This is Calypso by "The Sparrow", it's strictly rhythm and rhyme
Whether young or old, jump in the line and shake your body in time
