LYRICS

Verse 1

I doh know what wrong with this young gyul
But like something wrong with this young gyul
All yuh know that I have children
Born the same time just like this young gyul
In my days ah courting, this young gyul
Wasn’t even walking but -
Now Crazy find wife and living nice life
The young gyul calling - calling

Chorus 1

Calling me and telling me - that she crazy, over de Crazy
She remember me - from in ah party
And is long, long time - dat she want me
What the young gyul say

I want you to jack it up - Ah tell she “Yuh crazy”
I know I could back it up - Ah tell she “Yuh crazy”
Both ah we go smash it up - Ah tell she “Yuh crazy”
Come here we go mash it up - Ah tell she “Yuh crazy”
Jack it up - Back it up - Smash it up;
She want meh to mash it up - Ah tell she “Yuh crazy”

Verse 2

While performing is where she saw me
In ah All-Inclusive party
Get meh number from the promoter
And start ringing down my cellular
The first time she call the Nokia -
Ah tell she find somebody younger
She say I love ya - cyar do without yuh -
Age is ah number - and she keep on  -

Chorus 2

Calling me and telling me - dat she crazy over de Crazy
She remember me - from in ah party
And is long long time - dat she want me
What the young gyul say

She want meh to jack it up - Ah tell she “Yuh crazy”
She say she could back it up - Ah tell she “Yuh crazy”
She wah meh to smash it up - Ah tell she “Yuh crazy”
She wah me to mash it up - Ah tell she “Yuh crazy”
Jack it up - Back it up - Smash it up; 
She want meh to mash it up - Ah tell she “Yuh crazy”

Verse 3

This gyul an’ she stalking behaviour
Make me decide to change meh number
Ah throw meh sim card in ah river
And geh meh grandson the Nokia
Went and buy ah new Motorola
When I think de madness over
This private number calling de Elder
And when I answer is the young gyul...

Chorus 2

Calling me and telling me - dat she crazy over de Crazy
She remember me - from in ah party
And is long, long time - dat she want me
What the young gyul say

She want meh to jack it up - Ah tell she “Yuh crazy”
She say she could back it up - Ah tell she “Yuh crazy”
She wah meh to smash it up -Ah tell she “Yuh crazy”
She wah me to mash it up - Ah tell she “Yuh crazy”
She say leh we do a ting - I tell she I not in dat
She say leh we have a fling - I tell she I cyar do dat
She say leh we do a ting - I tell she I not in dat
(I doh want to end up on ‘Ian Alleyne’)

Calling me and telling me - dat she crazy over de Crazy
She remember me - from in ah party
And is long, long time - dat she want me

Edwin “Crazy” Ayoung
Edwin “Crazy” Ayoung

Edwin Ayoung or “Crazy” - born Edwin Ayoung in  1944, on Maraval Road in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad of a Venezuelan mother and Trinidadian father of Chinese descent, was - in his youth - as skilled and competitive in his country’s national pastime of cricket, as he has been now for years as a world-travelled musician, performing artist and composer.

 

Though dubbed The “Loveable Lunatic of Soca,” Ayoung has time and again not been given his due in his native land, yet remains one of the most commercially successful artists on the international soca scene. An experimentalist, he pioneered the unique musical genre known as Parang Soca and played a leading role in promoting Chutney Soca. Crazy would go on to sing several monster smashes in parang soca, including Muchacha and Homemade Wine.

A brilliant double-entendre artiste at its best - Edwin Ayoung has delighted in pushing the envelope in his humorous and witty manner.  With songs like Paul, Nani Wine and Suck Meh Soucouyant to name but three, this illustrious performer remains a staple in the music world.

He’s been ranked in the top three for Trinidad & Tobago’s annual national calypso monarch competition - his best showing being at position two with Dustbin Cover.  He captured the prestigious Road March title (the ‘tune for the road’ during Carnival Monday and Tuesday) in 1985 with Suck Meh, Soucouyant.

In addition to the track featured here—Respect Yuh Elder—Ayoung has already vocalized others for the season including Suzy Q and Pan Wall To Wall.
