Sing a Tropical Song Lyrics

On beautiful tropical Trinidad isle
Where Caribbean breezes play
The quaint little natives will greet you and smile
As they welcome you this way
As they welcome you this way

Upon the isle on from which we come
We have a national characteristic which is very strong
Because we put the accent upon the wrong syllable
And we sing a tropical song

Upon the isle on from which we come
The point of interest beside the coconut and the sirap
Is that we put the accent upon the wrong syllable
And we sing a tropical song

We could show the natural wonders of the scenery
(Do you?)
We could show the native birds and perhaps skip to a three
(Do you?)
And describe the climate and also tell the elevation
We could very hastily introduce the population

We could show you the hotel and many of our fascinating places
We could take you to the bar where visitors may fall upon their faces
If we only had a truck we could probably take you to the races
But we prefer to acquaint you with the following interesting facts

That on the isle on from which we come
We have a national characteristic which is very strong
And if you should remain here you will discover one peculiar thing
Before very long
That you have put the accent upon the wrong syllable
And you sing a tropical song

And so we say welcome
(Do you?)
