LYRICS
Verse 1
Carnival come back again, to ease frustration and pain
Is Carnival time again, all year we waiting to wail
We does jump and wine, have a nice time
Hold any woman, flex on she background
Have no fear for she husband, he home watching television
To see when the band passing, if she with ah man jumping
As the band cross the stage, she get on so bad like she was
in a cage
Doh feel no way, is Carnival day
Doh feel no way, she come out to play
As last lap done, and Ash Wednesday come
Is back to she husband.
Chorus
Pong up the thing some more, Doh care what it do before
Pong up the thing some more, Just make sure yuh score
Pong up the thing some more, Pong it till it want more
Pong it on the right side, Pong it on the left side
Pong it in the center, Pong it ’till it hot like fire
Doh stop, doh stop, just pong it, pong it, pong it, pong it.
Verse 2
Next year when we meet again, it won’t be the same
There’s no separation, when last lap done
We plan to run away, don’t care what people go say
Being together, forever and ever
They will never understand, why she leave out she husband
All he time for computer, too busy to love her
So sweet and sexy, we taking ah wine and she feeling free
Doh feel no way, she husband ent dey
Doh feel no way, she with me to stay
We having lots of fun, getting on in de hot sun
Carnival should never done.
Verse 3
To be a good husband, show yuh woman attention
If yuh doh have money, please she sexually
They say you cah make love on hungry belly
But there’s poor couples living so happy
Is not the size of the ship, but the captain steering it
Through deep waters, storm and thundershowers
Long as I please she, she’ll always love me
He computer, “Microsofter”
Doh feel no way, Ah “dot come”
Doh feel no way, I ent save none
Ah going the distance,
For this relationship to last
Move dey leh we pass. |

“Pong It” is a
‘double entendre’ panorama ditty putting
coy smiles on the faces of panists and
people in general for 2010, and penned and vocalized by Dunstan
“Carwash” Lawrence from Trinidad.
A composer and calypsonian ‘regular,’ Dunstan made his calypso tent debut in
1999. Though probably not a very
familiar face to many on the steelpan
music scene, Dunstan, who performs under
the sobriquet “Carwash,” saw his music
work recognized and performed by one of
Trinidad’s powerhouse steel orchestras -
world-renowned Trinidad All Stars - back in 1998.
Equipped with Dunstan’s track called “Me and Meh
Lady,” All Stars went to the 1998
Panorama competition of that year, eventually
placing third in the country’s national championship behind Exodus and Nutones
Steel Orchestras.
Though he has not
been continuously a household name on
the national stage, Dunstan has
persevered, and composed and recorded his
works through the years. For 2009, his
offering in the calypso arena was “Ah Rockin,” featured on the 2009
compilation called Wild and Wonderful
produced by Alvin Daniell. With
“Pong It,” Dunstan aka “Carwash” is again
showcasing music on Daniell’s 2010
calypso compilation, Something
Special.
Now 54 years ‘young,’
Dunstan Lawrence is an inspirational
social story. Turning his life
around after being on the “wrong track”
and then ‘paying his debt to society’
from 1985 for about ten years, Dunstan
had turned in part
to music to fill his long days and
nights spent in confinement. After
that, he emerged a
focused and driven individual with a portfolio of
music amassed during that period.
He was given a
huge morale and confidence boost with
the success and recognition gained less
than two years later, when Trinidad All
Stars selected his music for the
country’s national Panorama competition. Dunstan is a
survivor and example of determination
and talent. He works now in the
security services, where his employers
and colleagues alike reference him as an
exemplar and grounded individual.
“Pong It” has been arranged and recorded
by veteran ace musician
Pelham Goddard
at his Agra 9 Studio in St. James,
Trinidad, and produced by Alvin Daniell’s Major & minor Production
company.
