Andy Narell - De Long Time Band lyrics



Enough is enough! Shout Little Man
As he pull out the ancient tenor pan
The Carnival is soft, that is a fact
And so I going in town and bring it back
Only Peter Minshall, I think that is he name
He used to try but look he gone to Spain
Whole week me vibes just telling me
To go down and cause some controversy
Elroy, go and get your saxophone
We got a dudoop and a man with a trombone
I don’t know where they get the bamboo from
But dem boys start a rhythm section
Sweet Ken reach with the two red women from south
All you know the two we are talkin’ about
They bust a flask of rum, wet the ground
And cock their bottom in the direction to town

And they callin’ the band – De Long Time Band
See them raise their hand – De Long Time Band
Twenty-five of them – De Long Time Band
Jammin’ kaiso rhythm – De Long Time Band
De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band
They come out to follow Little Man
De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band
A mystic movin’ through the land

Enid bawl out like she insane
I never thought me times would come again
When we jammettes used to rule these people town
The hoity toits used to run when we around
She forget she was cookin’ fus she amazed
This got to be a band from me jammette days
She pull up she dress, cock she mouth
And start to work she belly inside and out
People try their best to cool she down
They even send for she man, they say well he’s strong
He was a Indian from Belmont they call Caruth
He really try to cool she down for truth
She fling him off, not for hell she wouldn’t listen
Then she start to wine like she never christened
She body made from blood and bacchanal
And she bottom come to mash up the Carnival

Them so way was in – De Long Time Band
If you seem them jamming in – De Long Time Band
Just 50 of them – De Long Time Band
Jammin’ kaiso rhythm – De Long Time Band
De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band
They come out to follow Little Man
De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band
A mystic movin’ through the land

2:00 pm now by Memorial Park
“All you can’t get on the stage until it gets dark”
So say a test from the NCC
A black Indian shout out “Young boy, not we”
He say “But sir in front we have Poison and Berkeley”
He say “Boy I beat men named so in ‘53”
A Midnight Robber just watch him and wink he eye
And then they hug up and the lyrics start to fly
I wouldn’t lie breds (smack) I kiss the cross
And the band in front start to drift like they lost
And the big brass bands they couldn’t play
On the barber green they start to clear the way
Little Man summon up now the whole band
The rhythm men start up with a doption
And then the black Indian chant out in a rage
Next thing, they’re on the Savannah stage

It all that way happen in – De Long Time Band
I was there in person – De Long Time Band
Ten thousand of them – De Long Time Band
Jammin’ kaiso rhythm – De Long Time Band
We is De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band
We come out to follow Little Man
De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band
A mystic movin’ through the land

Leave Savannah now, they gone to town
Well now the band about 20 thousand strong
Mr. St. George the dragon man
Join the black Indian up in front the band
And right in front of Woodford Square
He turned and cock he dragon tail in the air
And then he do a dollar wine on the Red House lawn
People start to wonder what going on
An inspector called Dove he start to frown
Watching this dragon man getting down
Everybody know St. George have a plan
But nobody can figure out the dragon man
Little Man join him now in a Ramajay
Port of Spain start to shake as the dingolay
The Hall of Justice roof bust in half
The Dragon just cock back and start to laugh

Twelve midnight, town in chaos
Talkin’ about the earthquake, and how the roof bust
It was 12:05 when he mash up the band
Then up to Mango Rose tenor in he hand
Enid was with him as he walk home
The jammette just get a vibe don’t leave him alone
They say in front he shack appeared a man
With a towel on he shoulder, hammer in hand
I don’t know if it’s true ‘cause I wasn’t there
They say he take the tenor pan and he fade away
Ooman start to bawl big men start to cry
Little Man just watch them and say I satisfied
Not another word he walk in the shack
With a smile on he face he never look back
Six o’clock Enid made Caruth bust the door
They find him in bed but he was no more

But they stay and they play – De Long Time Band
All through Ash Wednesday – De Long Time Band
Enid tell the police flat “Show some respect, remove your hat”
We is De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band
We play a next one for Little Man
We De Long Time Band, De Long Time Band
They would never forget we in this land…never never never…
