lirik lagu alexander nderitu - if i were a calypsonian
if i were a calypsonian, like david rudder,
i would write a love song for my lover
and dress it up with colourful descriptions
of her beauty and grace and sense of fashion.
sweet lyrics i would compose for my significant other;
to make her blush and forget her anger.
if i were a calypsonian, like mighty sparrow,
i would compose a vibrant song for the carnival;
with a h-rn section and strong african beats
that would have all the girls dancing in the streets
in their outlandish costumes and accessories.
if i were a calypsonian, like lord kitchener,
i would tell a hundred tales, all in calypso,
of love and life and matters political,
in order to educate and entertain the listener.
i would be the poor man’s newspaper.
if i were a calypsonian, like lord melody,
i would be the leader of a big steel band.
and i would sing funny songs about moms and dads,
sons and daughters, s-xy women and crooked politicians.
my band would tour all over trinidad
and revive the calypso art throughout the caribbean.
