Song : B

Intro :
Em B7 B7 Em
Em B7 B7 Em

Em
They say that I reign too long
B7
Forgetting that my constitution is strong

Instead of respecting my long long reign
Em
They making plot to take down my name

I’ve been breaking down walls
B7
Ever since I was small

They could stand up tall and strong
Em
Like a wrecking ball I go knock them down

Em
They say that I reign too long
B7
Forgetting that my constitution is strong

Instead of respecting my long long reign
Em
They making plot to take down my name

Everywhere I reign supreme
B7
The one and only calypso queen

No man alive or dead
Em
Could come and take the crown of my head


Them foolish and petty men

I don’t worry ‘bout them

They’ve been trying to take me down

But to the end I retain my crown


They say that I reign too long

Forgetting that my constitution is strong

Instead of respecting my long long reign

They making plot to take down my name

They used to call me small island girl

Now I travel the world

Everywhere they go they know

I am Calypso Rose queen of calypso


I am the daughter of the warrior

No time to rest or retire

Others have come and gone

But calypso rose is still singing on


They say that I reign too long

Forgetting that my constitution is strong

Instead of respecting my long long reign

They making plot to take down my name
