mighty sparrow

Post by constantine » October 5th, 2008, 10:47 am

sail on sailor
into the sea of the carib
i long to dance the calypso
trinidad, barbados
take me to the carnivale
i want to rip off my shirt
and wail like mighty sparrow
i can have any girl in the world

I could drop this nicely into any Tom Waits recording session, especially the Cuban ones with Marc Ribot... Jockey fulla bourbon style, or maybe the Singapore style... 'he's throwin' dice along the wharf'... Nice yell at the sun, Dino.
