LYRICS

Verse 1

Everybody partying in the street
Let’s dance to my soca beat
This party done start to go wild
They just love my rhythm and style
Having fun
People really getting on
Ah watching this gyal how she wining
She looking so tantalizing
How she rolling she belly
This type of behavior got me
Man ah feel so free
I just start to close in on she
Now she squeezing me
And we take over the party

Chorus

Ah say to jump jump we wailing
Lord we grooving
Me and meh lady jumping up
(3 times)

Verse 2

This party should never come to an end
To every man is ten women
This country so sweet so sweet
People burning in the heat
All these beautiful women
I got to have them
Is now ah flashing
Like is pictures ah taking
For once in my life
I feel I could really pay the price
Man I never felt like this
Is like being the greatest
And if they punish me
I am dying with my lady

Chorus

Verse 3

This thing is really going too far
Like I trying to drink out the bar
Can’t even stand on my feet
Grabbing every woman that I meet
Only love in my mind
And ah having a good time
Caressing my lady
I know she’ll never leave me
Tighter and tighter
Ah holding she all over
And after the party
I’ll be making love to she
And if they punish me
I am dying with my lady

Chorus

“Carwash” aka Dunstance Lawrence

Dunstan “Carwash” Lawrence

Dunstan “Carwash” Lawrence from Trinidad & Tobago is a composer and calypso ‘regular.’ Dunstan made his calypso tent debut in 1999.

Though not a very familiar face to everyone 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 Panorama competition of that year, eventually placing third in the country’s national championship competition.

Lawrence has re-worked and re-released the track, featured here, for the 2016 Panorama season. It is arranged by Pelham Goddard.
