LYRICS

Trinidad is a jamette yeah-a
Trinidad is a jamette, wo ou woh ho
Jam it jamette!

Verse 1

Marabunta Jean, well she was a prophet
Was the first woman to wave an honest flag
The naked streets, was she only temple
Now she all over Trinidad

Chorus 1

So don’t you be a stranger, taste the sweetest danger
Welcome to the jamettery
The world is going this way, Trinis going THAT way
Welcome to the jamettery.

Verse 2

Jamettery is a force, a possession like no other
It’s a sleeping power, a creeping dread
Stepping across the land like a dancing La Diablesse
This jamette world could t’ief yuh head. So..

Don’t you be a stranger, taste the sweetest danger
Welcome to the jamettery
Three-piece suited con man, “three quarter”wearing gunman
Blazing a new world for we.

Bridge

Jamette power, spreading like flood water, all over the land yeah, yeah (repeat)
Jamette power (x4)

Strength and powers!

Chorus

Don’t you be a stranger, taste the sweetest danger
Welcome to the jamettery
Feel the jamette power, live it for the hour
Welcome to the jamettery

Verse 3

Marabunta Jean, well she was a prophet
Was the first woman to wave an honest flag
The naked streets, was she only temple
Now she all over Trinidad.

Don’t you be a stranger, feel the sweetest danger
Welcome to the jamettery
Take it to the streets man, sorrow has a “sweet han’”
Welcome to the jamettery

A disciplined confusion, a realitied Illusion
Welcome to the jamettery
This place is such a hot mess, powerful but careless
Mouth done cock, and backside free.

Jamette power, jamette power
Yes we do it naturally. Oh ou oh ou woh ! Feel it!
Jamette power, feel it.

Give yourself a reason, join the sweetest treason.
Welcome, welcome, welcome yeah.
