"Melvin, the Fancy Sailor Mas"! (holding talcum powder and a dancing stick)

If you’re a lad or if you’re a lass,
You can play the sailor mas
If you stand short, if you stand tall,
Get on your costume for Carnival!
Before they had machines that fly,
Swooping down straight from the sky,
Folks came to these islands on a boat,
‘Cause in the waters they can float!
On deck you sailors do be glad,
Soon we’ll be landing in Trinidad!
And those of you down below,
We’ll let you off in Tobago!
At Carnival celebrate that you are free,
From the shackles and miseries of slavery,
Still in our world are people in chains,
They hardly enjoy the sunshine and rains.
We vow to work in any way we can,
Freeing each child, woman, and man,
Only when every last one is free,
Can real celebration surely be!
