They say that I reign too long Forgetting that me constitution is strong Instead of respecting me long, long reign They making plot to take down me name I've been breaking down walls Ever since I was small They could stand up tall and strong Like a wrecking ball, I go knock them down They say that I reign too long Forgetting that me constitution is strong Instead of respecting me long, long reign They making plot to take down me name Everywhere I reign supreme The one and only Calypso Queen No man alive or dead Could come and take the crown of me head Them foolish and petty men I don't worry 'bout them They've been trying to take me down But to the end I retain me crown They say that I reign too long Forgetting that me constitution is strong Instead of respecting me long, long reign They making plot to take down me name They used to call me Small Island Girl Now I travel the world Anywhere they go they know I am Calypso Rose, Queen of Calypso I am the daughter of the warrior No time to rest or retire Others have come and gone But Calypso Rose is still singing on They say that I reign too long Forgetting that me constitution is strong Instead of respecting me long, long reign They making plot to take down me name
