Fireworks - Bertie Higgins

[00:00.0]Fireworks-Bertie Higgins
[00:15.75]It was a hot nassau night
[00:18.49]Right in the middle of junkanoo
[00:23.81]And I was full of kalik beer feeling all right
[00:27.24]The night was full of voodoo
[00:31.21]We were raising hell down on marlboro street
[00:34.42]And all along prince george wharf
[00:38.54]When suddenly my eyes happen to see
[00:41.95]An octaroon mulatto girl
[00:45.32]She had a big fat hat on top of her head
[00:49.35]She looked like the queen of the parade
[00:53.46]And like the buccaneer blackbeard said
[00:56.74]Let's pillage plunder let's get laid
[01:00.95]She flashed me a gold toothed smile
[01:04.11]Her eyes had diamonds on
[01:08.270004]She put a mojo on me child
[01:11.53]And turned me into don juan
[01:13.81]She said show me how your fireworks
[01:18.18]Show me how your rocket burns
[01:21.65]And I'll show you how this chicken jerks
[01:24.770004]And how this butter churns
[01:28.5]She said show me how your fireworks
[01:32.59]Give it to me like the fourth of july
[01:36.39]And I'll show you how this coffee perks
[01:39.19]Let love light up the sky
[01:48.95]We laid down beneath a saffron tree
[01:51.79]Under some scheffleras shining in the moonlight
[01:55.44]She was naked in the breeze pretty as you please
[01:59.78]Mon such a beautiful sight
[02:03.76]We could hear the clash of a calypso band
[02:06.75]Drifting through the hot heavy air
[02:11.12]Rolling around in that soft sticky sand
[02:14.33]I fell in love right then and there
[02:16.59]She said show me how your fireworks
[02:20.79001]Show me how your rocket burns
[02:24.42]And I'll show you how this chicken jerks
[02:27.67]And how this butter churns
[02:31.3]She said show me how your fireworks
[02:35.34]Give it to me like the fourth of july
[02:38.95]And I'll show you how this coffee perks
[02:41.89]Let love light up the sky
[02:51.69]We went at each other all night long
[02:54.8]It sounded like a third world war zone
[02:58.8]Then I finally slept I surrendered
[03:02.7]When I woke I was alone
[03:06.43]And I felt like a pirate who'd just been slain
[03:09.6]One heavy heart one helluva head
[03:13.77]And if I never ever see her again
[03:17.0]I'll never forget what she said
[03:19.45999]She said show me how your fireworks
[03:23.52]Show me how your rocket burns
[03:27.12]And I'll show you how this chicken jerks
[03:30.45]And how this butter churns
[03:34.12]She said show me how your fireworks
[03:37.97]Give it to me like the fourth of july
[03:41.83]And I'll show you how this coffee perks
[03:44.8]Let love light up the sky
[03:48.74]She said show me how your fireworks
[03:53.33]Show me how your rocket burns
[03:56.62]And I'll show you how this chicken jerks
[03:59.95999]And how this butter churns
[04:03.62]She said show me how your fireworks
[04:06.92]Come on girl
