By Merchant

Hey, let's have a party, a Caribbean party
The entire region together in one big splashdown fiesta.

[A Caribbean connection, a regional vibration]
I say we jamming to the sounds of the Caribbean
We grooving to calypso and steelband
[Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh]
[Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh]

This jam go be irie, is one love so feel free
For we are the people of the Caribbean
Showing that we don't want no Basin plan.

[A Caribbean connection, a regional vibration]
I say we jamming to the sounds of the Caribbean
We grooving to calypso and steelband
[Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh]
[Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh]

Getting together, so should every leader
For we are one people, one destination
So let us move on without hesitation.

[A Caribbean connection, a regional vibration]
I say we jamming to the sounds of the Caribbean
We grooving to calypso and steelband
[Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh]
[Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh]

The venue is Tobago and it's going to be a grand show
A true Caribbean, callaloo mix up
When we start to jam up, we going nonstop.

[A Caribbean connection, a regional vibration]
I say we jamming to the sounds of the Caribbean
We grooving to calypso and steelband
[Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh]
[Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh]

[Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh]
[Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh]...
