Calypso Music
David Rudder Lyrics

Can you hear a distant drum Bouncing on the laughter Of a melody (Yeah yeah)
Do you feel the rhythm of the calypso vibrating in your soul, filling the air with the sound of distant drums and laughter?

And does the rhythm tell you Come come come come Does your spirit do a dance To this symphony Does it tell you that your heart Is afire (Oh yeah) And does it tell you that your pain Is a liar Does it wash away all your unlovely Well are you ready for A brand new discovery
Does the calypso rhythm inspire you to join in the dance and forget your troubles, igniting your heart with fiery passion and washing away all the negativity in your life, opening you up to a new world of discovery?
