This was a lot of fun, it turned out really well (again) and I am proud to have been part of it. The original lyrics are in bad taste, so they are 90% rewritten here, and are about a Barbados sugar-related festival called "Crop Over".
Brown Sugar
Get down to Crop-Over in the West Indes
More fun down in Barbados than in New Orleans
A two-month party in the islands, we%u2019re doing alright
You gotta roll dat bumper until just around midnight
Ah, brown sugar, how come it tastes so good?
Ah, brown sugar, just like I knew it would
Drums beating, dancing, and the weather so hot
From June to through to August, when it%u2019s gonna stop
We do the six-thirty dance, and we%u2019re feeling alright
The party hots up just around midnight
Ah, brown sugar, how come it tastes so good?
Ah, brown sugar, just like I knew it would
Yeah, brown sugar, how come it tastes so good?
Yeah, brown sugar, just like I knew it would
I remember when your mama was Calypso queen
At the party on Kadooment Day she was sweet sixteen
I'm no school boy but I know what I like
I was crowned the Party Monarch just around midnight
Ah, brown sugar, how come it tastes so good?
Ah, brown sugar, just like I knew it would
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, whew!
How come it tastes so good?
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, whew!
Just like molasses should
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, whew!
