Trini Christmas Cake
Half moon - in the sky
Near zero - North... ‘a 49
Trini Christmas - on my mind
Trini Christmas - on my mind.
I wanna piece - a Christmas Cake
Trini Cake .... Black Christmas Cake
I wanna piece - a Christmas Cake
I know it took so long to make....
Cake so heavy - give me backache
Trini Cake .... Black Christmas Cake
Rum it up, Spice it up, Love id up... non stop
Is de season to celebrate,
Celebrate wid parang
Dancing an singing,
Cooking an cleaning ‘till we can’t stand.
No warm id up, let’s start id up wid rum an puncha créme
I wanna piece a Christmas Cake......

Finally, jet make touch down;
Crazy taxi ride into town
To Auntie Asha and Uncle Edwin;
Already Christmas lights - all around
Never seen so many greens
Palm trees soca in de gentle breeze
Parang from back yard, and parang from de beach
Auntie and Uncle got brushes an cans ‘a paint
“Christmas time; time to fresh up, Come on man,
Help me hang dese curtains dat Auntie make.

Early morning, new stove deliverin’
One by one cousins join de kitchen
Assembly line, one-by-one for pastelles
What a smell, cloves an sweet meat an cornmeal
All day long, drinking sorrel, chitter chatter, ridum ‘a chak chak
Me and Uncle Edwin clean de front yard an de porch
Friends lean on de fence like parrots to watch
Out come some wine an out come some rum
Out come de cuatro, bottle an de spoons
Looks like de front yard won’t be done too soon.

6 PM an Christmas.... lights shining so bright
Christmas stockings hang de palm tree... not too high
Auntie Asha still in de kitchen an floors do shine
Sky so dark all de stars a special light
Dog bark announcing de parrandero
Get ready for de chak chak, guitars, toc toc
Call de neighbours, come de kitchen,
Parang all night long, ... roti an rum, ‘til ham is gone
Dancing and laughing and sing-along
It’s Christmas time, Christmas time,
Limin, limin all night long
It’s Christmas time, Christmas time,
Limin, limin all night long.
