What In The World

Have you ever been to the strangest of place and still managed to find a Bajan with that very prominent accent? Have you missed hearing our idiom so badly that you were overwhelmed to run up to a total stranger and shout “You is a Bajan?” They say where ever you go you will find a Bajan and it is still always a big surprise when you do. On thing that has become very obvious to me is the courtesy of Bajan when sprinkled in the cold, crusty attitudes of people abroad.

 

What In The World

 

We Bajans can be found any where you go

Have Bajans in the Far East sands in places we don’t know

At every corner of the earth but what do they do

The Cock-a-doodle Doo Show asked but I want to know too

 

It’s so strange to hear Guten Morgen with a Bajan accent

¡No puedo creerlo! But every where we went

 

There was a Bajan there and from the manner they spoke

Having them speak good old Bajan was for us a joke

Every one of them wished to hear us say something in dialect

 

We laughed at Lickmout Lou’s missed intellect

On la tour d'Ifil, in the tower up high

Recreating there was a Bajan guy

Last year in the back woods in Kenya a Bajan was there

Duh like duh got a Bajan living in places everywhere
