Coney Island in Arima


Who tell cyar' Gemma




We had a lot of fun up there


Until she went on the ferris wheel chair

From the time the ferris wheel go up so


She wet up ___???




Never me again Gemma


You could tek me any place


Your behavior in Arima was shocking disgrace

I mean to say ... you spoil de people fete


Rain ain't falling - everybody soaking wet


You know how shame I feel

Tell me why you went on the ferris wheel





Everybody start balling:

"Wha kind a strange rain is this wha fallin?"


Stars come out and the moon high, shining bright ... no cloud in the sky


A fella say once he get wet so: Four-day mornin' under bubaloops window

(Not sure of this line)


An old woman start to complain - first time she see yellow rain




Never me again Gemma


You could tek me any place


Your behavior in Arima was shocking disgrace

I mean to say ... you spoil de people fete


Rain ain't falling - everybody soaking wet


You know how shame I feel

Tell me why you went on the ferris wheel





People scrambling for shelter, some with rain cloak, some with umbrella

But those who far from the ferris wheel laughin


Because they know dam well rain ain't falling


The rain fall on a Bajan big dress

From she chest and the whole dress in a mess


"Wha kind a ting is this?" she start to complain

"I never know rain water could stain"




Never me again Gemma

You could tek me any place


Your behavior in Arima was shocking disgrace

I mean to say ... you spoil de people fete


Rain ain't falling - everybody soaking wet

You know how shame I feel

Tell me why you went on the ferris wheel




They had to stop this merry go round

Rain stop! Gemma come back down


She white, white, white like piece a chalk

She so frighten the girl can't talk

People surround to hear she explain:


What the whole gang was mistaking for rain

I nearly faint when I hear she say that:

The orange juice she had throw away




Never me again Gemma

You could tek me any place

Your behavior in Arima was shocking disgrace


I mean to say ... you spoil de people fete

Rain ain't falling - everybody soaking wet

You know how shame I feel

Tell me why you went on the Ferris wheel
