When Rock and Roll Came to Trinidad
La la la la la
They had a peaceful
Little island in the ocean
When rock and roll
Come to Trinidad
You should have seen the way
It started a commotion
When rock and roll
Come to Trinidad
They got some records
From the USA and played em
Then the natives begun
To jump like mad
I heard Calypso Joe
He hollered, go, man, go
When rock and roll
Come to Trinidad
La la la
Now on the market street
You hear the crazy beat
And since they heard the news
They're wearing blue suede shoes
Gone is Calypso song
They're rocking all night
No time for drinking rum
Since rock and roll
To this fair island come
La la la
When rock and roll
Come to Trinidad
When rock and roll
Come to Trinidad
Then the natives begun
To jump like mad
I heard Calypso Joe
He hollered, go, man, go
When rock and roll
Come to Trinidad
La la la
When rock and roll
Come to Trinidad
