Chasin' illusions can get quite confusin'

Kinja's the name of the island
10
It's been Kinja for two hundred years
11
But remember paradise
12
Doesn't come without a price
13
Let me make that abundantly clear
14
Kinja, our beautiful island
15
In a windward archipelago
16
We've been English, French and Dutch
17
Never seemed to matter much
18
Now we're officially Amerigo
19
We're Kinja
20
Still Kinja
21
Our Kinja
22
Our ancestors came in the slave ships
23
To work for the privileged few
24
Who wore Paris fashions
25
And lived in pink mansions
26
While we huddled in shacks of bamboo
27
Den da sugar beet bring us our freedom
28
With the help of our God we got through
29
Insurrections, beheadin's funerals and weddin's
30
Hurricanes and a World War or Two
31
Chorus
32
Hurricanes and a World War or Two
33
We're Kinja
34
Still Kinja
35
Our Kinja
36
We're Kinja
37
Still Kinja
38
Our Kinja
39
Mr. Churchill had to get some destroyers
40
To put old Hitler six feet below
41
FDR he pulled a nifty
42
Got our island just for fifty
43
And da Limeys dey pack up and go
44
We dance through the streets in celebration
45
Da fireworks dey light up da sky
46
We got hot dogs and highways
47
Got Fords and Chevrolets
48
Not to mention the Fourth of July
49
Not to mention the Fourth of July

56
Now the Yankees, they come wid der dollars
57
It's a beehive of activity
58
Sell dem crawfish and rum
59
Keep dem dizzy and numb
60
Oh we're liken' this prosperity
61
We got new holidays for celebration
62
We got new laws, but no one complies
63
we got crawfish and mangos
64
Calypso and tangos
65
Ahhh, but we short on our watah supply
66
Mighty short on our watah supply
67
We got the Carnival
68
We love the Carnival
69
The Kinja Carnival

We got the Carnival
72
Don't stop the Carnival
73
We love the Carnival
74
And our story begins

Dis is da legend of Norman Papuhman
76
Tale from the tropics we'll tell
77
Chasin' illusions can get quite confusin'
78
'Cause heaven can turn into hell!
