SAVE THE FEDERATION
By Lord Nelson
I am sorry, so sorry, that they had to leave we
I am sorry, so sorry, that they had to leave we
That is why we had Federation, so we could unite as one
But since this silly referendum now we have no Federation.
Believe me...
Although they leave and gone, some Jamaicans does mourn
Poor Mister Norman Manley, forget silly Bustamante,
Let the Doctor carry on.
Doctor Williams is a giant 'cause he promise to remain silent
He said he wouldn't talk about Federation, not until after the election
But what would happen now to Jamaica when their main export is banana?
They have no silver, no gold, I think they better come back and join the fold.
Believe me...
But since they leave and gone, some Jamaicans does mourn
Poor Mister Norman Manley, forget silly Bustamante,
Let the Doctor carry on.
Home and abroad, the West Indians were very glad
When they heard about Federation from Jamaica to Trinidad
But since this old referendum game, true West Indians burning with shame
So confused, don't know what to do, so we summon the Doctor to the rescue.
Just believe me...
Although they leave and gone, some Jamaicans does mourn
Poor Mister Norman Manley, forget silly Bustamante,
The Doctor will carry on.
