LYRICSVerse 1
She was only
seventeen
When she burst on the scene
Was on her grandmother’s wedding day
The young gyul jumped and snatched
the bridal bouquet
People start moving, chairs and
tables,
Clearing the way, to make room,
In her costume, she got ah hold of
the groom
Chorus
Is then she
start to dingolay
If you see the woman break away
The bride granddaughter, the bride
granddaughter
With ah Carib beer in she hand
Gyrating on the man
The bride granddaughter, the bride
granddaughter
She make she Manama, when she jam
down soca
Everybody want to know
Why the bride granddaughter had to
get on so
Verse 2
It was so
surprisingly
To see the bride in her glee
Together with her friends and family
They all gathered around her grand
baby
Everybody shock, when she start to
wuk,
Moving she behind,
Calling all men to come and wine
She was having ah great time
Chorus
_________________
Verse 3
She was on
top of her game
They all start calling her name
Clapping, chanting and singing out
loud
She was feeling the vibes from the
crowd
She kicked off her shoes, and by
mistake
One got away, and smashed up, the
wedding cake
It just got flat like ah bake
Chorus
