Fireworks

It was a hot nassau night

Right in the middle of junkanoo

And I was full of kalik beer feeling all right

The night was full of voodoo

We were raising hell down on marlboro street

And all along prince george wharf

When suddenly my eyes happen to see

An octaroon mulatto girl

She had a big fat hat on top of her head

She looked like the queen of the parade

And like the buccaneer blackbeard said

Let's pillage plunder let's get laid

She flashed me a gold toothed smile

Her eyes had diamonds on

She put a mojo on me child

And turned me into don juan

She said show me how your fireworks

Show me how your rocket burns

And I'll show you how this chicken jerks

And how this butter churns

She said show me how your fireworks

Give it to me like the fourth of july

And I'll show you how this coffee perks

Let love light up the sky

We laid down beneath a saffron tree

Under some scheffleras shining in the moonlight

She was naked in the breeze pretty as you please

Mon such a beautiful sight

We could hear the clash of a calypso band

Drifting through the hot heavy air

Rolling around in that soft sticky sand

I fell in love right then and there

She said show me how your fireworks

Show me how your rocket burns

And I'll show you how this chicken jerks

And how this butter churns

She said show me how your fireworks

Give it to me like the fourth of july

And I'll show you how this coffee perks

Let love light up the sky

We went at each other all night long

It sounded like a third world war zone

Then I finally slept I surrendered

When I woke I was alone

And I felt like a pirate who'd just been slain

One heavy heart one helluva head

And if I never ever see her again

I'll never forget what she said

She said show me how your fireworks

Show me how your rocket burns

And I'll show you how this chicken jerks

And how this butter churns

She said show me how your fireworks

Give it to me like the fourth of july

And I'll show you how this coffee perks

Let love light up the sky

She said show me how your fireworks

Show me how your rocket burns

And I'll show you how this chicken jerks

And how this butter churns

She said show me how your fireworks

Come on girl
