Ode To Tobago [Song]

ODE TO TOBAGO
By Lord Kitchener
From his 1969 album *King of the Road* - TROPICO TSI-2011.
Arranged by Clive Bradley.

Come, follow me on to a tiny land
Things to see, friends to meet
You would understand
Darling get up, let us pack up
For the journey is a nonstop
It's a date
Sweetheart don't be late.

CHORUS:
Come, let we go, let we go to Tobago
That paradise, found by Robinson Crusoe
And it is said, it's the land of tomorrow
Princess Margaret say, "Come Tobago for holiday."
Now the whole world say, "Come Tobago for holiday."

Your native friend surely would be a host
And show you some of the beauty from coast to coast
Lovely hotels, lovely beaches
Lovely flowers, friendly faces
It is grand on this Crusoe land.

CHORUS:
Come, let we go, let we go to Tobago
That paradise, found by Robinson Crusoe
And it is said, it's the land of tomorrow
Princess Margaret say, "Come Tobago for holiday."
Now the whole world say, "Come Tobago for holiday."

And once again, may I remind of you
Up the hill to Fort George there's a lovely view
As you look down curiously at the gray sand and the blue sea
You'll agree, it's just heavenly!

CHORUS:
Come, let we go, let we go to Tobago
That paradise, found by Robinson Crusoe
And it is said, it's the land of tomorrow
Princess Margaret say, "Come Tobago for holiday."
Now the whole world say, "Come Tobago for holiday."

For real beauty, well, it is my belief
There is no other place like the Buccoo Reef
Where the fishes seems to gather
Just to welcome every stranger
Tobago is the place to know.

CHORUS:
Come, let we go, let we go to Tobago
That paradise, found by Robinson Crusoe
And it is said, it's the land of tomorrow
Princess Margaret say, "Come Tobago for holiday."
Now the whole world say, "Come Tobago for holiday."

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Lord Kitchener!

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
