Some transcription attempt by a non-native English speaker!
This song is marvelous anyway.

The more they try to do me bad
Is the better I live in Trinidad

With all [?] streets
And all kind of bold shoes upon me feet
Yes that’s the way they wanna see me walk
Just to give the others a chance to talk

But these days I’m getting so much luck
That my girls even promise to buy a truck
I mean a DeSoto and a Sedan Ford
So you see I’m living like a little lord

Well, my girl got money so I don’t care
And I got my Bungalow in St Clair
For I’m Lord Caresser, the King of Calypso
I’m living among the aristocrats

Well by this you will see I'm up to mark
All my suits are tailored at Harry Clark 
And I drink some can [?] in company
With high brand cigars from Germany

Since Mr. William came to this colony
To manage electric company
Not until he heard I was in St. Clair
That he put the new [?] lights up there

So you see my name figures everywhere
I mean in England, New York, no talk 'bout here
Broadcast my songs to the world was heard
And I brought visitors to The Hummingbird

The more they try to do me bad
Is the better I live in Trinidad

With bold clothes to walk about the streets
And all kind of bold shoes upon me feet
Yes that’s the way they wanna see me walk
Just to give the others a chance to talk

But these days I’m getting so much luck
That my girls even promise to buy a truck
I mean a DeSoto and a Sedan Ford
So you see I’m living like a little lord

Well, my girl got money so I don’t care
And I got my Bungalow in St Clair
For I’m Lord Caresser, the King of Calypso
I’m living among the aristocrats

Well by this you will see I'm up to mark
All my suits are tailored at Harry Clark
And I drink some Cannings & Company
With high brand cigars from Germany

Since Mr. William came to this colony
To manage electric company
Not until he heard I was in St. Clair
That he put the new model lights up there

So you see my name figures everywhere
I mean in England, New York, no talk 'bout here
Broadcast my songs to the world was heard
And I brought visitors to The Hummingbird

My father told me about this song and I bought it a few years ago

Does anyone have the lyrics to this song? I can't find them, maybe there is someone who doesn't suck at googling? ;D
