LYRICSVerse 1
The girls
from the hill, look so good they
send me wild.
Everything they wear, have their
body looking fine.
I don't know what food they eating
Or what kinda water they drinking
Whatever it is, it working.
Dem girls
from the hill have plenty loyalty
Regardless the past, they still love
their Laventille.
Working hard for they family
And taking good care of they body.
I am so impressed the way how they
dress.
Oh yeah
Chorus
Show it
girls, show it the way you like.
Roll it girls, roll it around and
around.
Move it girls, move it left to
right.
So the whole o’ TnT could see what I
see.
Class and beauty on display that
have me this way
mesmerized, hypnotized, going wild.
Verse 2
On Carnival
Day you will see them in the band
dancing to soca and having lots of
fun.
The way how they move they body
it enough to send men crazy.
I love they style and they smile.
Respect to
you all for the way you keep
yourself.
You can teach the world about
fitness and good health.
Like running through Ovid Alley
to Troumacaque down to Dan Kelly
Drink a cold mauby I know you'll
agree.
Chorus

Alston Jack, a native from the isle of Tobago, has been passionate about the steeldrum since he was 9 years old, when he became a member of the Tobago All Stars Steel Orchestra.
Seeking a greater challenge, the double second panist became a member of Renegades Steel Orchestra in 1967, but remained with the band for only one season before moving to cross-town rivals, Desperadoes.
As a member of Desperadoes Steel Orchestra, Alston Jack was able to tour many places with them including New York city where he stayed and made his second home.
Jack’s pan compositions have been featured on the soundtracks of Fatal Attraction, Working Girl and NBC’s daytime soap opera Another World. He has also appeared on the Cosby Show and Another World. He has arranged for bands in New York such as Harlem All Stars, Moods Pan Groove, Metro, Women in Steel, Tropicans and Pantonic.
