SWEET T&T
By Ravi Babooram

Sweet T&T, my sweet T&T, sweet T&T, my sweet T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T

Sweet T&T, my sweet T&T, sweet T&T, my sweet T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T

If you go America, it not like T&T
If you go to Canada, it not like T&T
If you go to Grenada, it not like T&T
If you go to Guyana, it not like T&T.

Sweet T&T, my sweet T&T, sweet T&T, my sweet T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T.

Doctor Eric Williams lay the foundation
For T&T to be a free nation
Free from Mother England, free from slavery
Now T&T is a free society
We have we own constitution and government
The law of the land is the parliament
The Red, White and Black does drive me insane
Is pure Trini blood flowing through my vein.

Sweet T&T, my sweet T&T, sweet T&T, my sweet T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T.

If you go America, it not like T&T
If you go to Canada, it not like T&T
If you go to Grenada, it not like T&T
If you go to Guyana, it not like T&T.

Sweet T&T, my sweet T&T, sweet T&T, my sweet T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T.

T&T, our country is a blessed place
Here you will find every creed and race
Scholars, doctors, lawyers and musicians
In the 20th century we invented the steelpan
We also have sportsmen of the high calibre
--------- Ato Boldon and Brian Lara
The beauty of we women is beyond compare
Penny, Giselle, Wendy went where the air is rare.

Sweet T&T, my sweet T&T, sweet T&T, my sweet T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T.

If you go America, it not like T&T
If you go to Canada, it not like T&T
If you go to Grenada, it not like T&T
If you go to Guyana, it not like T&T.

Sweet T&T, my sweet T&T, sweet T&T, my sweet T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T.

This twin island republic boast of unity
Nowhere in the world this you'll ever see
Indian, Chinese, Syrian and African
All living in harmony in one nation
Mutual respect for each other religion
We learn to embrace each others tradition
Divali, Eid, Christmas we all celebrating
Trinidad and Tobago, oh what a blessing.

Sweet T&T, my sweet T&T, sweet T&T, my sweet T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T.

If you go America, it not like T&T
If you go to Canada, it not like T&T
If you go to Grenada, it not like T&T
If you go to Guyana, it not like T&T.

Sweet T&T, my sweet T&T, sweet T&T, my sweet T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T
There is no other place in the world like T&T.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Ravi Babooram!

"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!
