Got Extraordinary Magnificence

I recently started thinking about Summer Time on the island and the many people who try to come but couldn’t. So many people wish they could come and spend the time with their friends and family as well as get away from their adopted home to get back to the land of their Birth

Got Extraordinary Magnificence

Golden sands and crystal clear waters

On the beach dads with sons and moms with daughters

The pleasures seem well within my grip

Each one as close as tongue is to lip

Xcitement can possess you like a morbid fear

Though you anticipate a thing you never know ‘til you’re there

Red skies on evenings and starry skies at night

A stroll on the beach at day and later a walk in the moonlight

Others will encourage you to go out to play

Revel in the streets or see a Crop Over display

Dance to Kaiso music to the Ragga Soca beat

Intermittent rains that quell the burning Sun’s heat

No gawking least it be considered rude

And though you enjoy it “wukkin up” can be crude

Rhythms coming from far away

You can’t wait tah leggo like the Bajans say

Music and crowds are part of the season

And Bajans come home for this very reason

Get ready friend for what lies ahead

No boring days but the fun times instead

In the summer when the days are long

Festivals play in the streets their Road March song

Islanders entertaining their visiting families

Cultural extravaganzas throughout the communities

Every opportunity to get here people make

No one making the ultimate mistake

Coming in with suitcases not packed with some gem

Each Bajan has craves, and for some chocolate isn’t one of them
