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
I’ve been breaking down walls Ever since I was small They could stand up tall and strong Like a wrecking ball I go knock them down
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
Everywhere I reign supreme The one and only calypso queen No man alive or dead 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 the 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
