Harry Belafonte - Season For Carnival Lyrics

Harry Belafonte Lyrics

"Season For Carnival"

Carnival time here in this land
An old familiar custom you will understand
Everyone looking so bright and gay
Calypso songs from the break of day

Carnival starting
People line up watching
As the bands go dancing by
Pease and rice cooking

Curry goat and lamb stewing
This is the season for carnival
This is the season for carnival
This is the season for carnival
This is the season for carnival

Lovely woman from far and near
Come to Trinidad this time of year
Young lovers strolling through the town
Caressed by the music that's all around

Lady's bracelets in the market ringing
Little children dancing and singing
All the happy faces you'll see
Getting ready for the jamboree
