EVERYBODY RUNNING TO THE CARNAVAL, I SAY
EVERYBODY RUNNING TO THE STREET ON CARNAVAL DAY
OLD AND THE YOUNG, THE GREAT AND THE SMALL
EVERYBODY RUNNING TO THE CARNAVAL
EVERYBODY RUNNING TO THE CARNAVAL, I SAY
ONE SHIRT WILLIE AND HER MOTHER-IN-LAW MAYMAY
SEE THEM PUSHING THROUGH THE CROWD ON CARNAVAL DAY
NOTHING TO EAT AND NOTHING TO WEAR
BUT THE CARNAVAL, THEY ARE BOUND TO BE THERE
EVERYBODY RUNNING TO THE CARNAVAL, I SAY
TWIST-EYED MARY ANNE
SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH A POLICEMAN
SHE MADE ME TO UNDERSTAND
SHE WANTED TO TAKE THE CALIPSONIAN
EVERYBODY RUNNING TO THE STREET ON CARNAVAL DAY
OLD AND THE YOUNG, THE GREAT AND THE SMALL
EVERYBODY RUNNING TO THE CARNAVAL
EVERYBODY RUNNING TO THE CARNAVAL, I SAY
ONE SHIRT WILLIE AND HER MOTHER-IN-LAW MAYMAY
SEE THEM PUSHING THROUGH THE CROWD ON CARNAVAL DAY
NOTHING TO EAT AND NOTHING TO WEAR
BUT THE CARNAVAL, THEY ARE BOUND TO BE THERE
