LYRICS

Verse 1

Every time it have a fete, yes you sure to see people
Of sweet Trinbago, getting on bad in the place
Once it have a party,
Well yes you bound to find we dey
Mashing up the place,
Throwing plenty waist
Woman looking so sexy,
Dey could make man go astray
And queen Wendy say,
Trini know how to party.

Chorus

Representing red, white and black
Trini fete every night
Representing red, white and black
Tobago does do it right
Representing red, white and black
Trini fete every night
Representing red, white and black
Tobago does do it right

The gem of the Caribbean
So much ah sexy woman.
Anytime we come in a fete
They cannot forget, that we is the real champion
I hear Bravo say, champion
Wendy Fitzwilliam say, champion
Everybody say, champion.

Representing red, white and black
Trini fete every night
Representing red, white and black
Tobago does do it right
Representing red, white and black
Trini fete every night
Representing red, white and black
Tobago does do it right

We like party, is tradition
Music is the foundation
Anytime we coming out dey, flags up in the year
‘Cause we is the real champion
I hear Bravo say, champion
Wendy Fitzwilliam say, champion
Everybody say - Champion!

Verse 2

The town of St. James, they say that it never goes to sleep
It have bars line up,
On every side of the street
Men drinking around the clock,
And you cannot tell them stop
Try you will give up,
Look at how he drop
All of our celebrities does be liming in the street
That's the place where people of all distinction does meet.

Chorus

Verse 3

Carnival is planted deep in the heart of Trinbago
Just like steel band, chutney, soca and calypso
And the art of wining does live inside of all af we
Watch and you will see,
So much energy
This is not a fete in here,
But is madness Rudder say
From the way we move, when we jamming in the party.

Chorus
