TOOTS AND THE MAYTALS
"Pomp And Pride"
(Toots Hibbert)

[Instrumental]

Everybody just...
Crying out, crying out, calm down, calm down,
Have your pomp and your pride!
Calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down,
Have your pomps and pride!

Everybody just...
Crying out, crying out, calm down, calm down,
Have your pomps and pride!
Ease it and happily, nicely calm down,
Have your pomps and pride!

For today, today,
Today is a happy day!
And tonight, tonight,
Can be a clever night!

Do re me fa so la ti dooo!

And everybody was...
Crying, crying, sighing, sighing,
Dying to see the light!
And when they see it, they say it's not bright!
Can this be right?

Everybody just...
Calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down,
Have your pomps and your pride!
Ease it and happily, nicely calm down,
Have your pomps and pride!

For today, today,
Today is a happy day!
For tonight, tonight,
Can be a happy night, yeah!

Do re me fa so la ti dooo!

And everybody was...
Crying, crying, sighing, sighing,
Dying to see the light!
And when they see it, they say it not bright!
Can this be right?

Everybody just...
Calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down,
Have your pomps and pride!
Ease it and nicely, happily calm down,
Have your pomps and pride!

Everybody just...
Calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down,
Have your pomps and pride!
Calm down, calm down, calm down,
Have your pomps and pride!

[Instrumental]

Everybody just...
Crying out, crying out, calm down, calm down,
Have your pomps and pride!
Ease it and happily, nicely calm down,
Have your pomp and pride!

Yeah, talk about...
Crying out, crying out, calm down, calm down,
Have your pomps and pride!
Ease it and happily, nicely you calm down,
Have your pomps and pride!

Everybody just...
Crying, crying, sighing, sighing,
Dying to see this light!
And when they see it, they say it's not bright!
Can this be right?

For today, today,
Today is a happy day!
And tonight, tonight,
Can be a clever night, yeah!

Do re me fa so la ti dooo!

And everybody just...
Calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down,
Have your pomps and your pride!
Ease it and happily, nicely calm down,

Crying out, crying out, calm down, calm down,
Have your pomps and your pride!
Ease it and happily, nicely calm down,
Have your pomps and pride!

Everybody was...
Crying, crying, sighing, sighing,
Dying to see the light!
And when they see it, they say it's not bright!
And this is right?

Everybody just...
Crying out, crying out, calm down, calm down,
Have your pomps and your pride!
Calm down, Calm down, calm down, calm down,
Have your pomps and pride!

Everybody just...
Crying out, crying out,...
