Jimmy Buffett - Funeral Dance lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Funeral Dance lyrics]
Narration: In Amerigo, Carnival was as
Hallowed as Christmas it'self
Perhaps slightly more so there
Was a meaning to it see, Islanders
Did not put into words
Yet which made it the authentic supreme
Day in the Kinjan calendar
Africa was marching down the main street of
This little harbor town today africa
In undimmed black
Vitality, surging up out of
Centuries of island displacement
Island slavery, island isolation
Island ignorance africa
Unquenchable in it's burning love of life
Carnival was Africa Day in Amerigo
Hallowed as Christmas it'self
Perhaps slightly more so there
Was a meaning to it see, Islanders
Did not put into words
Yet which made it the authentic supreme
Day in the Kinjan calendar
Africa was marching down the main street of
This little harbor town today africa
In undimmed black
Vitality, surging up out of
Centuries of island displacement
Island slavery, island isolation
Island ignorance africa
Unquenchable in it's burning love of life
Carnival was Africa Day in Amerigo
