CALYPSO: A WORLD MUSIC

Verse and chorus from "Teenager's Song."
By Atilla the Hun.

Verse:
A psychologist was lecturing recently
His topic was juvenile delinquency
When from the midst of the mammoth crowd
A teenager jumped up and shouted aloud

Chorus:
Alone! Please leave us alone
To work out our problems on our own
For you don't understand the situation
That is facing the rising generation

From Raymond Quevedo, Atilla's Kaiso: A Short History of Trinidad Calypso (St. Augustine, Trinidad: Department of Extra Mural Studies, University of the West Indies, 1983), pp. 150.
