MADAM JEFFREY
By Scrunter

Guaco and he friends from Tobago
Christmas Day reach in front mih door
With a box bass and a cuatro, a violin and a banjo
They say they always had a plan
To give mih family a parang
They wake up mih Mammy right away
When they ring out with this lavway.

Ma Jeffrey oy, get up! It's Christmas morning!
You ent hear the neighbour cock crowing? Oh gyul, it's Christmas morning!
Madam Jeffrey oy, wake up! It's Christmas morning!
I hope you know is White Oak we drinking, yeah gyul, it's Christmas morning!
Madam Jeffrey oy, get up! It's Christmas morning!
Time to put some smoke in yuh kitchen, ey gyul, it's Christmas morning!
Madam Jeffrey oy, wake up! It's Christmas morning!
I hope you know is White Oak we lashing, yeah gyul, it's Christmas morning!

Mammy put coffee on the fire
Encouraging them to stay little longer
Ham and bread on the table
White Oak, she bring out a bottle
The music went in my neighbour head
He pull he old sax below he bed
Come across and join the bacchanal
They wouldn't stop singing at all.

Ma Jeffrey oy, get up! It's Christmas morning!
You ent hear the neighbour cock crowing? Oh gyul, it's Christmas morning!
Madam Jeffrey oy, wake up! It's Christmas morning!
I hope you know is White Oak we drinking, ey gyul, it's Christmas morning!
Madam Jeffrey oy, get up! It's Christmas morning!
Time to put some smoke in yuh kitchen, ey gyul, it's Christmas morning!
Madam Jeffrey oy, wake up! It's Christmas morning!
-------------------------- passing, oh gyul.

People keep coming to and fro
They never hear parang sound sweet so
And dem boys from Tobago, they getting on with heel and toe
I don't know where ------- come from
Fall in without any question
He pick up the pan wey boil the ham
And one time he start to jam.

Ma Jeffrey oy, get up! It's Christmas morning!
You ent hear the neighbour cock crowing? Oh gyul, it's Christmas morning!
Madam Jeffrey oy, wake up! It's Christmas morning!
I hope you know is White Oak we taking, oh gyul, it's Christmas morning!

Thank you, Scrunter!

"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

Christmas Is Love [Song]

CHRISTMAS IS LOVE
By Singing Francine (1981

Christmas is here again, a time for true loving
A time to forgive our friends and a time to enjoy good living
We are rejoicing, we are uniting
We bring good tidings from the Master above,
CHRISTMAS IS LOVE!

A time for sharing things, a time for preparing,
A time for exchanging gifts to the ones that we love and cherish
We are parading and serenading
Yes, we are moving and grooving like doves,
CHRISTMAS IS LOVE!

And Christ, our Saviour, forgave our behaviour
On Calvary, yes, He died on the cross just to save us
When we are feting, we keep forgetting
That we should kneel and give thanks to the Saviour above,
CHRISTMAS IS LOVE!

Christmas is here again, a time for true loving
A time to forgive our friends and a time to enjoy good living
We are rejoicing, we are uniting
We bring good tidings from our Master above,
CHRISTMAS IS LOVE, CHRISTMAS IS LOVE,
CHRISTMAS IS LOVE, CHRISTMAS IS LOVE,
CHRISTMAS IS LOVE, CHRISTMAS IS LOVE!...

IT'S CHRISTMAS AGAIN
By Baron

Christmas is big business they say and me ent doubting
You see all and sundry does pack up the grocery
Women always want new curtain
And the house want repainting
Is only then businessmen could win
They say that Christ didn't born on Christmas Day
They say that is a pagan holiday
I say, "No way!"

'Cause when I see the love in the land [Oy, it's Christmas again]
All man Jack stretching dey hand [Oy, it's Christmas again]
Is the only time of the year [Oy, it's Christmas again]
The rich does show the poor that they care [Oy, it's Christmas again]
Children does be happy eating things they never see
Christmas does unite all family [Oy, it's Christmas again]
Oh oh, sing it with me [Oy, it's Christmas again]
Come on, come leh we spree! [Oy, it's Christmas again]

People all over the country busy, busy
Whole month they preparing for Christmas morning
Children getting up early to see what Mammy and Daddy
Have for them under the tree
They really say Christmas is for children
It is a joy to share this day with them and dey lil friend.

'Cause as you know, Christmas is a love [Oy, it's Christmas again]
It is a special gift from above [Oy, it's Christmas again]
Christmas does put spirit in the air [Oy, it's Christmas again]
To make each and every one share [Oy, it's Christmas again]
All little girls and boys playing with their brand new toys
Oh how inside me does fill with joy [Oy, it's Christmas again]
Oh oh, sing it with me [Oy, it's Christmas again]
Come on, come leh we spree! [Oy, it's Christmas again]

All who don't celebrate it, I ent envy
But they must understand, I have my tradition
And it is my prerogative to be happy and festive
Leave me, let me live!
Going 'round by friends and family
Eating, drinking and being merry with everybody.

You see, Christmas does come only once a year [Oy, it's Christmas again]
When the music start, I have to be there [Oy, it's Christmas again]
I must parang whether sun or rain [Oy, it's Christmas again]
Is just the Spanish blood in mih vein [Oy, it's Christmas again]
Can't speak Spanish at all but when the hammer fall
I could sing a good serenal [Oy, it's Christmas again]
Oh oh, sing it with me [Oy, it's Christmas again]
Come on, come leh we spree! [Oy, it's Chrismtas again]
Oh oh, sing it with me [Oy, it's Christmas again]
Come on, come leh we spree! [Oy, it's Chrismtas again]
