Fireworks-Bertie Higgins
It was a hot nassau night
Right in the middle of junkanoo
And I was full of kalik beer feeling all right
The night was full of voodoo
We were raising hell down on marlboro street
And all along prince george wharf
When suddenly my eyes happen to see
An octaroon mulatto girl
She had a big fat hat on top of her head
She looked like the queen of the parade
And like the buccaneer blackbeard said
Let's pillage plunder let's get laid
She flashed me a gold toothed smile
Her eyes had diamonds on
She put a mojo on me child
And turned me into don juan
She said show me how your fireworks
Show me how your rocket burns
And I'll show you how this chicken jerks
And how this butter churns
She said show me how your fireworks
Give it to me like the fourth of july
And I'll show you how this coffee perks
Let love light up the sky
We laid down beneath a saffron tree
Under some scheffleras shining in the moonlight
She was naked in the breeze pretty as you please
Mon such a beautiful sight
We could hear the clash of a calypso band
Drifting through the hot heavy air
Rolling around in that soft sticky sand
I fell in love right then and there
She said show me how your fireworks
Show me how your rocket burns
And I'll show you how this chicken jerks
And how this butter churns
She said show me how your fireworks
Give it to me like the fourth of july
And I'll show you how this coffee perks
Let love light up the sky
We went at each other all night long
It sounded like a third world war zone
Then I finally slept I surrendered
When I woke I was alone
And I felt like a pirate who'd just been slain
One heavy heart one helluva head
And if I never ever see her again
I'll never forget what she said
She said show me how your fireworks
Show me how your rocket burns
And I'll show you how this chicken jerks
And how this butter churns
She said show me how your fireworks
Give it to me like the fourth of july
And I'll show you how this coffee perks
Let love light up the sky
She said show me how your fireworks
Show me how your rocket burns
And I'll show you how this chicken jerks
And how this butter churns
She said show me how your fireworks
Come on girl
