Listen to this Through Olga I miss My carnival band I drink up all kind of alcohol Just before carnival Me head start to spin Me knees start to buck Me whole body start to rock Tired, sleepy, broke-up So I asked her to wake me up Olga, Olga I hearin' a boom, boom, boom Olga, Olga Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom my darling Olga, do do I hearin' a steel pan It's an old tradition To jump in the band I telling you friend She wake me up 'bout half an hour too late So I grab me hat, and my shoes And I gone running straight through the gate When I look back was Olga With a fifth of rum in she hand She say I come to ask for forgiveness And to join the carnival band Olga, Olga I hearin' a boom, boom, boom Olga, Olga Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom my darling Olga, do do I hearin' a steel pan It's an old tradition To jump in the band You can't drop asleep that time of the year Or you go miss all the fun Singing, dancing, loving each other No class distinction The air is clean, the food is fresh That's the life in the West Indies And if the people was sleeping There'll be no calypsos like these Mama look at the band passing... Olga, Olga I hearin' a boom, boom, boom Olga, Olga Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom my darling Olga, do do I hearin' a steel pan It's an old tradition To jump in the band No one alive Will ever know What carnival mean to me If I'm absent from carnival Me soul does leave me body Carnival time I feel like a king Everybody join in and sing 'Til the carnival is over Olga, Olga I hearin' a boom, boom, boom Olga, Olga Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom my darling Olga, do do I hearin' a steel pan It's an old tradition To jump in the band Mama look at the band passing...
