The Mighty Sparrow - Calypso Folk-Poet


Bongo!

Before Maynard G. Krebs grew his beard,

before Dr. Feynmann played after physics conferences,

before the neo-hippies joined the drum circles,

there was the calypso bongo jam.

Sparrow recounts the story of a life-and-death

bongo dance competition, Matilda vs. the newcomer,

big fat Priscilla.
