If like me you love yuh belly
Then you'll know why I love T&T
Cause roti, pastelle, crab and callaloo
doubles, snow cone, channa and aloo
benne balls, sugar cake and other delights
make T &T the place to be when the food bug bites

If like me yuh love beauty
then you'll know why I love T&T
cause Paria, Maracas, mas ole and pretty
San Fernando hill rising above the city
Buccoo Reef, Paria, shades of people show
we have more colour here that the biggest rainbow

If like me crime making yuh worry
then you know why I cry for T&T
cause Hasley, Bovell, Lara, York and Ato
Kitchie, Sparrow and al the masters of kaiso
steelpan, soca, chutney invented in T&T
show us what a great county we could really be

So if like me yuh love our country
then be sure to know its history
else steelpan, calypso, will all go
out into the world and nobody will know
all these thing were born right here in Trinbago

So next time you hear a steelpan,
listen and hear
poetry in rhythm with our own Trinbago flair
and when next yuh light a deya
look and see
the brightness of a country built on harmony
and then my friends say yes I am proud to be
excatly what i am
a T&T ME!!

pretty good!!
