King Radio, The Lion & The Tiger - War

King Radio, The Lion & The Tiger - War

Trio:
No, no, no, no. tell them I say no
My answer is no
No no no no tell them I say no
My answer is no

They may come with their grand preparation
No, no, no, no. No consolation. Grief and pain and sad meditation
Tell them I say no.

Radio:
From the first very day I sat on the throne
I heard pretenders grumble and moan
oh when they heard my voice through the atmosphere
they thought was an angel from heaven appear
Songsters try for to hamper me, but I still get the opportunity
I didn't mean to call it but I got the privilege
[patois ending?]

Tiger:
This is my second anniversary
but I were fortunately sent to New York City
I must thank the people of Port of Spain
they have assist me in climbing the ladder of fame
I am popularly known as a pugilist
but today I'm recognized a radio artist
and without no exaggeration I achieve my ambition
as a calypsonian

Lion:
Well I pity men's conditions when they have no ammunition
as to fight with The Lion in the open competition
I am sitting a-waiting for the coming celebration
as to fight - monarchs in war and rebellion
And for me - I mean they would be blessed with benedictions
And against me - they shall suffer persecution
For I'm Lord Eloquent in the House of Parliament.

Radio:
This is the Radio, Lion also Tiger
We known to be popular in America
Tiger:
This is the war and rebellion, I mean
No, no, no, no. No consolation
Lion:
I keep them from corruption and bad association
The atmosphere flies with the bal contamination
Radio:
War and rebellion in this open competition
Trio:
Tell them I say no.
