The Curry Man from Trinidad

I leave my home in Trinidad

And I come to live in America

And now I am working at Kmart

The whole day behind a cash register

But I always have problems

Every time I get hungry, and it is time to eat

All it has is a bunch of junk food

Dry bread with some artificial meat

So, I decided to take all my money

And invested it in a Trinidadian—style food van

Is about time I introduced to America

The tasty cooking of we Trinidadian

Well, I thought for the first few days

That business was going to be slow

But boy, I was so wrong

When I started to see people line up for so

So, I open with some real Trini breakfast

Smoked herring with fried tomato and roti

Baggi, Pumpkin, Baigan, and Aloo

Fried Bodi, doubles, and fever grass tea

It is the first time they have tasted Doubles

And the mango chutney burning their nose

One guy who looks like he was from Russia

Drop some curry channa on his clothes

I get all the recipes from my brother's restaurant

"Naz cuisine" is the best food in Trinidad'

And a lot of people start complimenting me

Saying it is the best food they ever had

A white man's face started to turn red

Eating doubles with plenty of pepper

But he says, " Kaz boy, I like it, I like it

It has a very nice flavor

Then he asks for two red Solo

And four more doubles and five aloo pie

He said he loved it so much

He takes it home for his family to try

And then, for lunchtime, " I roll out the big guns

I serve all different kinds of talkari

Also, curry Goat, duck, chicken, and fish

Bake and shark, bush up shut, and Dhalpurrie

Two pretty Puerto Rican girls

One of them looks just like Mariah Carey

They order dhal, rice, and goat meat

Saying how they love the Trinidad curry

**chorus**

And everybody singing, "We love the curry
