Stranger (2001)

"I'm a stranger" said a pretty gyal
I came down here for de Carnival
Calypso music have me in a trance
Want to play mas
Teach me how to dance

Chorus:
Buy a little rag
Put it in your pocket
Buy a little flag
That's de way you do it
Find yourself a band
Find a good position
When de music blasts
You'll find out how to play mas

When dey say rag, hol' yuh rag
When dey say rag, hol' yuh rag
When dey say flag, hol' yuh flag
When dey say flag, hol' yuh flag
An' wave it
Wave it
Wave it
Do yuh ting (jump up)
Do yuh ting (jump up)
Do yuh ting (dance up)
Do yuh ting (prance up)
When dey say "wine" yuh gotta wine
When dey say "wine" yuh gotta wine
When dey say "wine" roll yuh waist
When dey say "wine" roll yuh waist
Roll it
Roll it
Do yuh ting (jump up)
Do yuh ting (jump up)
Do yuh ting (dance up)
Do yuh ting (prance up)

Verse 2
Quite Australia
She said she come from
She came down just to have some fun
She was eager to get in the groove
Music fever had her running

Chorus

And jump up, jump up
Wine up wine up

Verse 3
Ah say "Welcome to sweet Trinidad"
To have you here, I am very glad
Let me wish you happy holiday
I do hope that you enjoy your stay

Chorus

Hello Stranger
Listen carefully
Please accept my hospitality
But be careful when you drink your rum
Use a condom if temptation come but

Chorus
