I remember when there use to be a carnival
When we use to hug up tight, jump in de band
De boys could play them steel pans all night long
And then those days were gone
All de nation welcomed in sixty-six
Independance came without tricks or licks
But no kind of excitement could be found
til cropover hit this town
(Chorus A)
Now we jumping in de street,Cropover
De women wuking so sweet,Cropover
Whining in de heat,Cropover
Jamming to de beat,Cropover
All de tourist jamming up Baxters Road
For a taste of flying fish they coming by van load
You can see de festival is in full swing
Cause everybody doing dey t'ing
I tell you de people wuk so hard all de time
So they should enjoy themselves, have a good time
If you look you'll see happiness in their eyes
Now Cropover is alive
(Chorus A)
Now we jumping in de street,Cropover
De women wuking so sweet,Cropover
Whining in de heat,Cropover
Jamming to de beat,Cropover
(Chorus)
Ah we coming down de road, Cropover
kadooment bound to explode, Cropover
De women wuking up so sweet, Cropover
Jumping in de street, Cropover
(You should see them)
Come time to jump up we all are the same
So let the sweat come down just like rain
Everybody knows it's the end of the crop
So we got to make Barbados rock
(Chorus B)
Ah we coming down de road, Cropover
kadooment bound to explode, Cropover
De women wuking up so sweet, Cropover
Jumping in de street, Cropover
(Chorus C)
Now we whining in de heat, Cropover
Jamming to the beat, Cropover
Ah we coming down the road,Cropover
Kadooment bound to explode, Cropover
Stand up, let the world know Cropover
Jump up, Kadooment
Dance up, celebrating Cropover
Wuk up, This is kadooment
(Chorus D)
Ah we coming down the road, Cropover
Kadooment bound to explode, Cropover
De women wuking up dey waste, Cropover
All in de place, Cropover
We coming down de street,Cropover
Jumping to the beat, Cropover
