History of Carnival Lyrics – Atilla the Hun
Singer: Atilla the Hun
Title: History of Carnival
From a scandal and hideous Bacchanal
Today we’ve got a glorious carnival
From a scandal and hideous Bacchanal
Today we’ve got a glorious carnival
We used to sing long ago nuneos and pusenio
But today you can hear a calypso
On the American radio
Carnival of long ago you used to see
Half-naked women for the Pisse-en-lit
Shak shak and vera in their hand
Twisting their body as they led the band
You was not even safe in your own home
Through an accident with bottle and stone
But today you can hear a calypso
On the American radio
Some of the songsters I can remember
Was Marlborough and Executor
And Black Princе Pharaoh and Leonel
Edward the Confеssor whom I knew well
They used to sing mama {?}
Captain Baker {?}
But today you can hear a calypso
On the American radio
Carnival of long ago was terrible
The orgies reprehensible
In those days women sang calypso
Like Sophie Matelonia and Marigold
They used to walk out with bully face
I mean in the days of the canboulay
But today you can hear our Trinidad calypso
On the American radio
A prophet has no honour in his own land
The truth of that proverb I now understand
When you sing calypso in Trinidad
You are a vagabond and everything that’s bad
In your native land you’re a hooligan
In New York you’re an artist and a gentleman
For instance take Lion and me
Having dinner with Rudy Vallee
