I-  Calypso

Lyrics to make a big man cry,

Sassy women to whine,

And elders' stories to narrate,

Calypso sweet sweet calypso.

II - Steelpan

And; ah likyting likyting likyting,

That's how the whole thing start,

Then the tuning and the styling,

Now steelpan  is world class.

III - Doubles



You can leave your house on empty belly,

Stand up under the doubles vendor's umbrella,

Breakfast with - hot mild or sweet sauce,

Nothing like a doubles to start a trini day.
