For the Country’s Sake

I am not a fan 

But we’re in a jam

Let’s give her a break 

For the country’s sake

My party messed up

Hence this bitter cup

So give her a break

For the country’s sake

She promised stuff

But things real rough

We must give her a break 

For the country’s sake

Whether DLP or UPP

Or any other party

Please give her a break

For the country’s sake

You called for a change

It was so arranged

So give her a break

For the country’s sake

The people spoke

By the “X” they wrote

Let’s give her a break 

For the country’s sake

The DLP had ten years

The BLP now appear

Give her a break

For the country’s sake

I had to frown

DLP get back their tongue

But give her a break

For the country’s sake

Now they can tell

All is not well

But give her a break

For the country’s sake

  

Those who know me

Know I am a “D”

But give her a break

For the country’s sake

It is only fair

If we really care

To give her a break

For the country’s sake

Adopt a good spirit

Make it a habit

And give her a break 

For the country’s sake

Let’s see what she can do

Might not be your view

But give her a break

For the country’s sake

Public workers get a bit

They were promised it

Give her a break

For the country’s sake

Some pensioners too

So don’t be blue

Give her a break

For the country’s sake

She took the broadside

Of a DLP campaign

Now give her a break 

For the country’s sake

The “D’s” had fun

Now they are glum

But give her a break

For the country’s sake

Whether “D’s" or “B’s

We’re all bajans

Let’s give her a break

For the country’s sake

Some questioned

The one-man opposition

But give him a break

For the country’s sake

Let’s trust in God

All praise to Him laud

And give her a break

For the country’s sake

And as we do

To our country be true

But give her a break

For the country’s sake

All hands on deck

Now give her the respect

And for the country’s sake

Please give her a break
