[Verse 1]
It was Carnival Tuesday and very late
I reminded Roslyn that we had a date
She promised me faithfully she going spend the night with me
Now she start to fête, she have headache
[Chorus]
And then she have another drink, "Again dou-dou?"
Have another rum, "You go feel alright?
And remember we're going home tonight
Don't worry to let no other man
Hug you up in the band
Tell him, "Please take it light"
'Cause we going home tonight"
[Verse 2]
If you see this lovеly rose from Maracas
Dress up in she tight costumе and playing mas
Angostura Starlift band beating "If you hear sweet pan"
That is how we met, all day we fête
[Chorus]
And then she have another drink, "Again dou-dou?"
Have another rum, "You go feel alright?
And remember we're going home tonight
Don't worry to let no other man
Hug you up in the band
Tell him, "Please take it light"
'Cause we going home tonight"
[Verse 3]
She mama ain't know that Roslyn run away
And she playing mas with me 'til Ash Wednesday
She was out for fun and speak, time was running out on me
Though she have headache she can't escape
[Chorus]
And then she have another drink, "Again dou-dou?"
Have another rum, "You go feel alright?
And remember we're going home tonight
Don't worry to let no other man
Hug you up in the band
Tell him, "Please take it light"
'Cause we going home tonight"
[Verse 4]
This time if you see me how I showing off
'Cause I'm positive by now she headache's off
When the music start to play Roslyn start to break away
The band went crazy gazing at she
[Chorus]
And then she have another drink, "Again dou-dou?"
Have another rum, "You go feel alright?
And remember we're going home tonight
Don't worry to let no other man
Hug you up in the band
Tell him, "Please take it light"
'Cause we going home tonight"
