[Bb] I don't want to sing along with you, that is really calypso.
No, it's just not ethnic.
What's [Gb] ethnic?
[B] [Bb]
Well, in the West Indies, there are many languages that have invaded those islands.
I mean, the French, the English, the Spanish.
And when it's all put together, it comes out in a strange tongue they call Tatwa.
That's not ethnic?
No, no.
No, just say after me
I wonder why nobody don't like me.
By George, I think he's [Ab] got it.
Yeah, we do it.
