Jumbie Jamboree lyrics with English Translations
Oh, what a jumbie jamboree
Took place inna Kingston cemetery
Oh, what a jumbie jamboree
Took place inna Kingston cemetery
Jumbies from up north of the island Some of them are great Calypsonians Since the season was carnival They ska together in Bakanal
And what they singing Back to back, belly to belly I don't care a damn, I dun dead already Back to back, belly to belly That a jumbie jamboree
One female jumbie wouldn't behave Look how she jumping 'pon the grave In one hand she's holding a quart a rum The next hand she's beating Congo drum The lead singer starts to make his rhyme While other jumbies rock their bones in time One bystander started to say It was a sight to see jumbie break away
And what they singing Back to back, belly to belly I don't care a damn, I dun dead already Back to back, belly to belly That a jumbie jamboree
Left to right things was getting sweet A bystander mash a jumbie feet The jumbie raise his finger to one He said, "Mister take care, you mashing me corn" The funniest thing I have ever seen To see jumbie eating salt fish and ackee I never see more marpy or ginger beer That took place at a jumbie parade last year
Hear what they singing Back to back, belly to belly I don't care a damn, I dun dead already Back to back, belly to belly That a jumbie jamboree
